research with thematic analysis, where the data collection techniques used are observation and
interviews. The research results found that the millennial generation at the Faculty of Public Health,
Nusa Cendana University Kupang, experienced medium levels of FOMO syndrome which affected
their lifestyle. There are some of who have a lifestyle characteristic of checking their social media all
