With this scenario of restrictions and preventive measures caused by the pandemic, lifestyle and the level of physical activities and exercises can be negatively affected, in addition, this moment is more susceptible to negative affects such as states of depression, anxiety and stress. Objectives: to evaluate lifestyle, psychological wellbeing and prevalence of pain in university students during social isolation. Methods: the research was conducted remotely through the Google forms platform®, using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), the "Fantastic Lifestyle" (VFS) questionnaire, as well as questions that question the existence of pain, with the painful intensity measured by the Visual Numerical Scale (EVN). Results: of the 93 individuals who participated in the study, in the DASS-21, 13.7%, 8.6% and 21.5% of the sample were classified as the severity degree "very severe" in the subscales "Depression", "Stress" and "Anxiety", respectively. The majority of the sample (51.6%) was classified as the "good" category in VFS. 54.8% of the sample reported recent pain with intensity greater than or equal to 4 and 29% with intensity greater than or equal to 7. The most frequent sites of pain were the lumbar region, followed by the head and cervical region. Conclusion: according to the EVF, most university students have a good lifestyle, however low level of physical activity was detected in the sample, and more than half of the university students were outside the normal classifications, in all three subscales of dass-21.
