The lifestyle of students is influenced by sports, hygiene, eating habits, and alcohol and tobacco consumption, especially during a health crisis when lockdown is recommended. This study aimed to examine the lifestyle of students enrolled in middle schools in northern Benin. To this end, the study was conducted in three carefully selected middle schools in northern Benin and involved 1,500 students, including 892 boys, who were selected using a non- random method and random selection technique. A questionnaire was used to collect information on the students' lifestyles. Lifestyles were assessed as good or poor. The results revealed that the lifestyle of 86.3% of the students surveyed was considered poor. Sports, hygiene, eating habits, and food consumption had a strong influence on the students' lifestyles (p < 0.001). The poor lifestyle of students requires action to change their behavior in order to maintain and preserve a well-being that is conducive to their overall development and, above all, their academic success.
