Physical activity plays an important role in promoting health and increasing the quality of life for all
segments of society. Therefore. this cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the relationship
between physical activity status and health- related quality of life (HRQOL) among the staff in UiTM
Pahang. A questionnaire was distributed to 65 staff during "Health-Screening Program" which was
organized by Health Unit, UiTM Pahang. The physical activity index (PAI) was determined using General
Practice Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPPAQ) while health-related quality of life was assessed by using
self-rating Center for Disease Control and Prevention HRQOL-4 tools. The association between gender and
physical activity index were observed while no association had been observed between physical activity index
and health status measure and other three HRQOL measure (recent physical health, recent mental health
and recent activity limitation) among staff in UiTM Pahang. In conclusion, the staff in UiTM Pahang had a
high self-rating of HRQOL regardless the physical activity index.
