Mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression, are a public health problem. One of the most affected populations are university students, because they are exposed to various stressors. It has been shown that physical exercise has an inverse relationship with the psychological variables of anxiety and depression. The main objective of this study is to describe the relationship between the degrees of physical activity with the levels of anxiety and depression in Human Medicine students from the first to sixth year of studies at a university in Lambayeque, year 2022. The data collection instruments were International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short version, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory 2nd version (BDI-II). The Spearman correlation coefficient and a binary logistic regression model (multivariate technique) were used to measure the correlation between the variables studied. The study included 188 students, who met the inclusion criteria, with an average age of 20 years. It was found that the majority of students presented mild anxiety symptoms (37.8%), severe depressive symptoms (8.5%) and carried out a low degree of physical activity (40.4%). In the binary logistic regression model, it was found that there is an inverse relationship between the variables Physical activity and depression, OR is 0.477 (with a 95% confidence interval of 0.254 to 0.895) with a p-value of less than 0.05. No statistically significant correlation was found between the physical activity variables and anxiety.
