Abstract

The COVID-19 epidemic has eclipsed global development activities. Global political, financial, and technical resources have been mobilised to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic’s impact will be long-lasting, affecting all aspects of human life and impeding all developmental endeavours, including the ambitious and aspirational Sustainable Development Goals. Good nutrition is an essential criterion for adolescent health, productivity, and functional efficiency. The present study was to investigate the impact of covid 19 to young people’s health and nutritional state, academic interest, and psychosocial behaviour. This is a cross-sectional study in which 100 adolescents aged 18 to 21 years were assessed for anthropometry, nutritional profile, and perceived stress using relevant scales. The findings demonstrated an association between good nutritional status and psychosocial behaviour in adolescents. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on adolescents’ dietary status, academic interest, and psychosocial behaviour. This study provides novel ideas for future policies and intervention programmes.
