Abstract

This research seeks to elucidate the correlation between triadic cognitive quotient and patterns of lifestyle among university learners at the National University of Altiplano-Puno-Peru during the COVID-19 pandemic. We applied a non-experimental quantitative methodology, encompassing descriptive, correlational, and multivariate statistical tools. The study sample was composed of 399 students from diverse professional faculties. The FANTASTICO healthy lifestyle instruments and the Tri-cerebral Quotient Revealer were utilized for data collection. It was determined that 87.3% of the students displayed excellent or good lifestyle habits, stemming from reduced alcohol, drug, and tobacco use during the confinement phase. In terms of triadic cerebral application, a predominance of right and central-left cerebral application was observed. Excellent lifestyle habits were found to correspond with right-brain dominance, while good lifestyle habits were associated with central and left-brain dominance. There was no considerable variation between students originating from Quechua and Aymara areas regarding the mother tongue and cerebral application. The conclusions indicate that university learners tend to manifest more emotional and operational tendencies, with reduced logicality, and that their behavior and lifestyle habits have significantly shifted due to the impacts of the pandemic‎.
