College students and their academic routines often cause them to spend too long in a sitting position and experience a lack of time for activities that impact the health of the musculoskeletal system, especially the lower back. Musculoskeletal disorders of the lower back can affect anyone, with women as the main population who most often experience these problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between physical activity and the quality of the lower back of health science students. The research design applied in this study was cross-sectional. The target population of this study were all Diploma III (DIII) Midwifery and Nursing students of Bhakti Husada College of Health Sciences (STIKes) Cikarang level one to three. Of the total population of 139 female students, 79 female students were obtained as samples obtained through the consecutive sampling method. Physical activity data were taken using scores from the Indonesian version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), while lower back quality data were obtained from the scores of the Indonesian version of the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire. The correlation test between the two variables applied the Pearson correlation test. The results showed that the physical activity profile of female students of STIKes Bhakti Husada Cikarang was <600 MET-minutes/week, which indicated that the physical activity of female students was classified as low, while the quality of their lower back was classified as good based on the interpretation of minimal disability from ODI. The significance value of both variables is 0.07 > 0.05, so it can be said that there is no correlation between the two. The conclusion of this study is that there is no relationship between physical activity and the quality of the lower back of health science students.
