Trends of Physical Activity Among Baltic Adolescents Through an Intersectional Lens: A Repeated Cross‐Sectional Study
BACKGROUND: This study examined trends in physical activity among Baltic adolescents across the intersection of gender and socio-economic status (SES). METHODS: Data were gathered from Health Behavior in School-aged Children (2001-2018) (n = 61,619). No or low moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) (≤ 1 day/week of 60 min/day of MVPA), insufficient physical activity (not engaging in 60 min/day of MVPA daily), gender, and SES were self-repo…
Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of the Prevalence of Physical Activity in South American Children
Is there an association between psychological distress during early adulthood and later trajectories of physical activity during adulthood? Longitudinal data from two cohort studies
BACKGROUND: Our aim was to analyse the prospective association between psychological distress during early adulthood and physical activity trajectories between early and middle adulthood. METHODS: We used data from the 1958 National Child Development Study (NCDS) (n=8994, 4388 women) and the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS) (n=7014, 4388 women). Psychological distress was assessed using the Malaise inventory at 23 years in the 1958 NCDS and at 26 …
Differential Factors Are Associated with Physical Activity in Older Adults in Brazil with and without Non-Communicable Chronic Diseases: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of the 2019 National Health Survey
This study analyzed whether sociodemographic factors, health perception, dietary habits, and screen time are related to physical activity (PA) in older people with and without non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs). This cross-sectional study analyzed data from the 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey; the sample was older adults (≥60 years old; n = 22,726). The outcome of this study was being physically active or inactive during leisure time,…
Correlates of Physical Activity in Brazilian Older Adults: The National Health Survey 2019
Engagement in physical activity (PA) depends on intrapersonal, interpersonal/cultural, organizational, physical environment and political factors. Considering that it is important to understand this phenomenon in different populational contexts, this study aimed to investigate the factors related to engagement in PA according to sociodemographic aspects, eating habits, self-rated health, activities of daily living, noncommunicable diseases, menta…
Comparative analysis of temporal trends of obesity and physical inactivity in Brazil and the USA (2011–2021)
In the last decade, there was a trend towards increasing obesity and stabilization in PI, both in Brazil and the USA. However, there was no association between temporal trends in obesity and physical inactivity in both countries. Our data reinforce a call to action to prevent and control obesity, going with and beyond PI reduction
What are the correlates of intention to be physically active in Brazilian adolescents? A network analysis
In conclusion, individual factors such as sex and body image perception, and environmental factors such as school administrative dependency and availability of extracurricular activities had a significant contribution to the intention to be physically active among Brazilian adolescents
Clusters of obesogenic behaviors and metabolic risk according to somatic maturity status among adolescents
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify the clusters of obesogenic behaviors, and verify the association with metabolic risk according to the categories of somatic maturity status of adolescents. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study conducted with 1159 (55.1% girls) Brazilian adolescents aged between 10 and 16 years (mean age: 12.9 years). Measurements of waist circumference, blood pressure, blood glucose, HDL-C, and triglycerides were combin…
Sociodemographic inequalities in the trends of different types of leisure-time physical activity among Brazilian adults between 2006 and 2019
Women, black and brown people, and subjects with less schooling were the most unfavored groups. While some inequalities persisted over the years, others increased, such as ethnicity and education inequalities for strength/gymnastics
Attendance in physical education classes, sedentary behavior, and different forms of physical activity among schoolchildren: A cross-sectional study
Attendance in PE ≥ 2/week was associated with higher frequencies of active play (girls: PR = 1.40, 95%CI = 1.11-1.78; boys: PR = 1.49, 95%CI = 1.15-1.94) and structured physical activity (girls: PR = 2.11, 95%CI = 1.31-3.40; boys: PR = 4.33, 95%CI = 1.63-11.52). Higher attendance in PE (≥ 2/week) was associated with high overall PA (girls: PR = 1.31, 95%CI = 1.06-1.62; boys: PR = 1.42, 95%CI = 1.14-1.77) and low SB (girls: PR = 0.80, 95%CI = 0.71…
Multimorbidity is associated with TV-viewing, but not with other types of screen-based behaviors in Brazilian adults
Intervention strategies for reducing screen time in Brazilian adults should focus mainly on TV-viewing, which seems to be associated with more harmful conditions than time on other types of screen-based behaviors
Association of public physical activity facilities and participation in community programs with leisure-time physical activity: Does the association differ according to educational level and income
The presence of public PA facilities and participation in public PA programs are environmental correlates that may be relevant for designing effective public health interventions to reduce social inequalities in leisure-time PA among adults in low-income areas
Correlates of screen-based behaviors among adults from the 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey
We aimed to investigate correlates of TV viewing and other types of screen-based behaviors in a nationally representative sample of Brazilian adults. In the 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey (including 88,509 adults), TV viewing time and other types of screen behaviors (computer, tablet, and cellphone use) were self-reported and different geographical, sociodemographic, behavioral, and health status factors were investigated as potential corr…
Como a redução de algumas doenças cardiovasculares pode afetar a expectativa de vida da população brasileira
O presente estudo objetiva analisar o impacto das doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) na expectativa de vida (EV) da população brasileira e identificar como a EV seria afetada pela redução hipotética de 5% a 30% e pela eliminação da mortalidade por essas doenças. Trata-se de um estudo de simulação que utiliza dados transversais a nível nacional. A análise foi realizada por meio do modelo de tábuas de vida de múltiplo decremento, considerando reduções …
