Objectives: Research shows that mental and physical health are related to physical activity; however, few studies focus on Hispanic women. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether current mental and physical health differ by current physical activity level in Hispanic women ages 25 to 44 in the general population. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis used 2017 BRFSS data for Hispanic women ages 25 to 44 from California (N=531), Colorado (N=222), Florida (N=495), New York (N=282), and Texas (N=498). Multiple logistic regression analysis for combined state data was used to assess the relationship separately for mental health and physical health with physical activity while controlling for state and health-related, demographic, and socioeconomic factors. Results: About one-third of Hispanic women reported mental health issues (37%), physical health issues (34%), and physical inactivity (34%) in the past 30 days. The results of adjusted analysis indicated that high physical activity was moderately related to physical health. In addition, activity limitations, health conditions, and healthcare access were moderately related to both mental and physical health; while weight status, alcohol use, and tobacco use were related only to mental health, with low to moderate effect sizes. Conclusions: Overall, current physical activity was moderately related to current physical health, but not to current mental health in Hispanic women ages 25 to 44. However, multiple health-related factors were related to both physical and mental health issues in this target population. With the moderate prevalence of both mental and physical health issues in young adult Hispanic females, providers should always screen for these. Furthermore, because of moderate to high relations, providers should automatically screen for physical activity levels with physical health issues; for activity limitations and one or more health conditions with any physical or mental health issues; and for substance use with any mental health issues. *Correspondence to: Jessica L Hartos, Department of Physician Assistant Studies, University of North Texas Health Science Center, 3500 Camp Bowie Blvd, Fort Worth, Texas, 76107, USA, Tel: (817) 735-2454; Fax: (817) 735-2529; E-mail: jessica.hartos@unthsc.edu
