The Covid-19 pandemic has reshaped education, impacting university students. This study aimed to assess the quality of life and academic procrastination of 273 students (18-65 years old) and their relationship with sociodemographic variables and lifestyle. WHOQOL-BREF and EPA instruments, along with an ad hoc questionnaire, were used. Academic self-regulation correlated with quality of life across all four factors, procrastination with quality of life (physical and psychological health), and age with academic self-regulation, procrastination, and psychological health. Furthermore, differences between scores for academic self-regulation, procrastination, and certain quality of life factors were observed based on aspects such as gender, frequency of physical activity, alcohol consumption, cigarette use, Internet access, and computer access.

Keywords : Healthy lifestyle; substance use; emotional regulation; information technology; academic success. (Tesauro DeCS).
