The objective of this research was to assess the quality of life of volunteers from the University of São Paulo at different levels of physical activity. To evaluate the quality of life perception, the WHOQOL-bref. Nutritional status was evaluated through the body mass index (BMI). The level of physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (short version typical week). All these instruments were utilized to compose a computerized system of data collection. Among the findings it is highlighted that most of the 1,966 participants are single (65.9%), undergraduate students (52.6%) originated from the Campus of São Paulo city (50.9%), 32.3% are overweight and 65.5% meet the recommendation for regular physical activity. It was observed that the most active individuals exhibit higher scores in all areas of life quality which justifies actions to increase physical activity on the academic community.
