Objective of the study is to determine the association of physical activity and health status among faculty of Health Sciences staff in UiTM Puncak Alam. Data collected using social demographic data. Physical and health status data was using the modified International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and Health Status Questionnaire-12 (HSQ12). Data was analysed using SPSS version 21.0. Total participants were 142 staff. Male had higher physical activity level (p = 0.008) and total health status (p = 0.025) compared to female, academic staff had higher physical activity compared to non-academic staff (p = 0.025), and overweight participants showed moderate physical activity score followed by normal BMI, obese, and underweight participants (p = 0.016). Total health status score with the highest median health status score was among normal BMI participants (median = 643.33, IQR = 175.84). Weak correlation showed between physical activity and health status among participants (r = 0.101, p>0.05). Physical activity level was not influenced by health status because participants with high physical activity level do not necessarily report a high level of health status.
