Effect of a Community Health Worker-Led Intervention on Physical Activity in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes in Primary Health Care in the Brazilian Amazon
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major global public-health problem, and physical inactivity contributes to poor disease control. In settings with limited access to health services, as in the Brazilian Amazon, interventions delivered by Community Health Workers (CHWs) within Primary Health Care (PHC) may offer a pragmatic strategy to increase physical activity (PA). We aimed to evaluate the effect of a CHW-led, theory-based intervention on PA…

Physical activity and salutogenesis
This essay aims to broaden the dialogue between physical activity (PA) and health by a salutogenesis-oriented concept, which emphasizes the origins of health, as opposed to the pathogenic model, which focuses on the origin of diseases. It presents the foundations of the theory, created by Aaron Antonovsky, whose health promotion model is centered on the sense of coherence (SOC), which consists of significance, comprehensibility, and manageability…

Obesogenic behavior clusters associated with weight status among Brazilian students
This study aimed to examine the association between clusters of physical activity (PA), diet, and television viewing (TV) with weight status among a representative sample of Brazilian students.

PA (minutes/week spent in leisure-time, and commuting to/from school), TV (hours/day), and weekly consumption of deep-fr…
