Examining the association of sociodemographic characteristics on self-reported changes in health-related behaviors, mental health, and quality of life during the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil
The challenges faced during COVID-19 for the public health were unprecedent in the last 100 years. The necessity to adapt lifestyles during this period highlighted inequalities in health-related behaviors, quality of life and mental health of the population, especially in unequal countries like Brazil. To analyze the associations of sociodemographic characteristics and recalled changes in health-related behavior, mental health, and quality of lif…
Association between trust in the incumbent president and Covid-19 preventive behaviors during the pandemic in four Latin American countries
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed disparities in policy responses in Latin America. We examined the association between trust in the president and COVID-19 preventive behaviors in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico. We used data from the Collaborative COVID-19 Response Survey by the McDonnell Academy at Washington University in St. Louis (United States), from September 2020 to March 2021. Nonprobabilistic sampling included adult citizens from the f…
Validity and reliability of the Perceived Nutrition Environment Measures Survey (Nems-P) for use in Brazil
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Perceived Nutrition Environment Measures Survey (NEMS-P) translated and adapted for use in Brazil. Design: Validation of the NEMS-P questionnaire. The questionnaires were applied to assess validity and reliability, based on exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach’s α coefficient and intra-class correlation, with a significance level of 95 %. Setting: Brazil. Partici…
Analysis of the use of public open spaces and physical activity levels in children and adolescents from Rivera (Uruguay)
Self-perception of mental health, Covid-19 and associated sociodemographic-contextual factors in Latin America
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of alterations in self-perceived mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic and their associated factors in four Latin American countries. This is a cross-sectional study based on data collected from adults in 2021 through the Collaborative Response COVID-19 Survey by the MacDonnell Academy at Washington University in St. Louis (United States). The sample was composed of 8,125 individuals from Brazil, C…
Age-friendly cities, knowledge and urban restructuring
Age-friendly cities and communities have emerged as a significant policy, participative and governance response to ageing and its spatial effects. This paper argues that it has important benefits in mobilizing older people, placing age on the urban agenda and building recognition across politicians, policy makers and programme managers. Based on the experience of Belfast (UK), the analysis suggests, however, that it needs to be understood within …
Employing Participatory Citizen Science Methods to Promote Age-Friendly Environments Worldwide
The trajectory of aging is profoundly impacted by the physical and social environmental contexts in which we live. While “top–down” policy activities can have potentially wide impacts on such contexts, they often take time, resources, and political will, and therefore can be less accessible to underserved communities. This article describes a “bottom–up”, resident-engaged method to advance local environmental and policy change, called Our Voice, …
Built environment correlates of physical activity and sedentary behaviour in older adults
Iniquidades do ambiente construído relacionado à atividade física no entorno de escolas públicas de Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil
O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a associação entre as características do ambiente relacionado à atividade física com a renda em áreas de entorno escolar em Curitiba, Paraná. Foram auditados 888 segmentos de rua com um instrumento de observação sistemática em três seções (Rotas, Segmentos e Cruzamentos) no raio de 500 metros ao redor de 30 escolas públicas. O escore total foi a soma das seções. Dados de renda do entorno escolar foram obtidos d…
Acessibilidade a espaços públicos de lazer e atividade física em adultos de Curitiba, Paraná, Brasil
O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a associação entre acessibilidade a espaços públicos de lazer, disponibilidade de equipamentos para atividade física (AF) nestes locais e a prática de atividade física no lazer em adultos. Foi conduzido um inquérito domiciliar com 699 adultos de 32 setores censitários selecionados segundo a renda e "walkability". A acessibilidade a espaços públicos de lazer foi determinada por geoprocessamento segundo a proximida…
Evidence-based decision making and promotion of physical activity among directors of local health departments
OBJECTIVE: To describe the steps involved in evidence-based decision making for the implementation of programs aimed at the promotion of physical activity. METHODS: It is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with quali-quantitative approach, held with municipal health secretaries chosen deliberately by regional health representatives of the state of Paraná. A total of 27 secretaries participated in a telephone interview consisting of 17 open ques…
Study protocol
The HULAP study has been designed and implemented by a multi-disciplinary team and integrates differing methodologies to purposefully impact on policy and practice on healthy ageing in high and low-middle income countries. It has particular strengths in its combination of objective and self-reported measures using validated tools and the integration of GPS, accelerometer and GIS data to provide a robust assessment of 'spatial energetics'. The str…
Built environment and physical activity
Beachfront, street lighting, paved streets and cycle lanes were associated with physical activity patterns. This suggests that infrastructure interventions may influence physical activity levels of Brazilian adolescents
International variation in neighborhood walkability, transit, and recreation environments using geographic information systems
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization recommends strategies to improve urban design, public transportation, and recreation facilities to facilitate physical activity for non-communicable disease prevention for an increasingly urbanized global population. Most evidence supporting environmental associations with physical activity comes from single countries or regions with limited variation in urban form. This paper documents variation in compa…
Built Environment and Physical Activity for Transportation in Adults from Curitiba, Brazil
Projeto EspaÇOS de Curitiba, Brasil
The results show that it is feasible to conduct high-quality studies on physical activity and built environment in the Brazilian context in accordance with international standards
Assessing Physical Activity in Public Parks in Brazil Using Systematic Observation
Objectives. We assessed park use in Recife, Brazil, and differences in physical activity and occupation rates in public parks with and without the Academia da Cidade Program (ACP), which provides cost-free, supervised physical activity classes. Methods. We used the System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities (SOPARC) in 128 targeted areas in 10 park sites (5 ACP sites, 5 non-ACP sites) to obtain data on the number of users and their p…
Atividade física e fatores associados em adolescentes do ensino médio de Curitiba, Brasil
OBJETIVO: Estimar a prevalência de atividade física e identificar fatores associados em adolescentes. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal realizado com amostra representativa (n = 1.518, 59,2% do sexo feminino) de escolares de 14-18 anos de idade da rede pública de ensino de Curitiba, PR, em 2006. A prática de atividade física foi auto-referida, em número de dias por semana em que realiza atividade de intensidade moderada a vigorosa com duração > 60 minu…
Perceived Stress Scale
The perceived stress scale (PSS-10) reliability and validity were evaluated in Brazilian adults. A two-stage translation procedure was employed to achieve a Portuguese version. Participants were 793 Brazilian university teachers. The exploratory factor analysis showed two factors with eigenvalues greater than 1.0 (56.8% of variance). The Cronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.83 (Factor 1), 0.77 (Factor 2) and 0.87 (Total Score). The test-retest re…
