Introduction: Sociodemographic factors influence preventive practices against COVID-19. Analyzing the association of these factors with the level of preventive practices is crucial to guide the development of future prevention campaigns targeting medical students and their families. Objective: To assess the association between age, gender, place of origin, and district of residence with the level of preventive measures for COVID-19 among medical students at the Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas (Lima, Peru) and their relatives during the COVID-19 pandemic period between 2020 and 2021. Methods: A qualitative, analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 238 individuals using non-probabilistic convenience sampling. A survey validated by experts was administered to fourth-year medical students and their relatives at a private university in Lima, Peru. Analysis was performed using STATA, employing chi2 for bivariate analysis and multinomial logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Results: Of the respondents, 134 were students and 104 were family members. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between the level of preventive practices against COVID-19 and age and district of residence in family members (p<0.05), and only with age in students (p<0.05). The female gender predominated in both groups (63.43% and 68.27%, respectively), with the majority in the 18 to 28 age range. Regarding the level of preventive practices, a regular level predominated in both students (85.07%) and family members (73.08%). Conclusion: Age was the factor most strongly associated with the level of preventive practices in medical students. Both age and district of residence were sociodemographic factors strongly associated with the level of preventive practices in the population of medical students' relatives. It is suggested that COVID-19 prevention programs focus on specific age groups and consider the context of residence.
