Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a large family of respiratory viruses that can cause mild to moderate illness. The new variant COVID-19 has started to spread rapidly since December 2019, posing a new threat to global health. To counter the spread of the virus, the Italian government forced the population to close all activities starting from 9 March 2020 to 4 May 2020. In this scenario, we conducted a cross-sectional study on a heterogeneous sample (average age of 28 ± 12 years, 62.6% females) of the University of Naples Federico II (Italy). The aim of the study was to describe the lifestyle change in the university population during quarantine for the COVID 19 pandemic. Participants compiled an online survey consisting of 3 sections: socio-demographic data, dietary behaviours, physical activity habits and psychological aspects. The different results by gender are: 90.8% of females continued to work from home (81.9% were students); 34.8% increased their physical activity; and, only 0.8% prefer ready meals. Whereas, the same percentage of men continued to work from home (90%), but only 72.1% were students ( < 0.001 vs. females), only 23.9% increased physical activity ( < 0.001) and 1.7% favous ready meals. Our data shows that the male population was more affected by isolation and quarantine reporting more unfavourable behavioural changes.
冠状病毒（CoV）是一组大型呼吸道病毒，可引起轻度至中度疾病。自 2019 年 12 月以来，新型变异 COVID-19 已开始迅速传播，对全球健康构成新威胁。为了遏制病毒的传播，意大利政府从 2020 年 3 月 9 日至 5 月 4 日强制要求民众关闭所有活动。在这种情况下，我们对那不勒斯费德里克二世大学（意大利）的异质样本（平均年龄为 28 ± 12 岁，女性占 62.6%）进行了横断面研究。该研究的目的是描述在 COVID-19 大流行期间隔离期间大学生群体的生活方式变化。参与者填写了一份在线调查问卷，包括三个部分：社会人口统计学数据、饮食行为、体育活动习惯和心理方面。不同性别之间的结果如下：90.8%的女性继续在家工作（81.9%为学生）；34.8%增加了体育活动；只有 0.8%更喜欢即食餐。而同样比例的男性继续在家工作（90%），但只有 72.1%为学生（<0.001 与女性相比），只有 23.9%增加了体育活动（<0.001），1.7%更喜欢即食餐。我们的数据表明，男性群体受到隔离和检疫的影响更大，报告了更多不利的行为变化。
