Item Aceitabilidade e valor nutricional de chocolate amargo enriquecido com amêndoa de baru, linhaça e quinoa(2015-12) Freitas, Jullyana Borges de; Souza, Janaína Chaves de Matos; Velloso, Lívia Alves; Simão, Rebeca Albuquerque Santos; Fernandes, Daniela Canuto; Alves, Aline Medeiros; Naves, Maria Margareth VelosoThis study aimed to formulate dark chocolate enriched with baru almonds, flaxseed and quinoa (9% in replacement of chocolate, as well as assess the acceptability (global acceptance, appearance and purchase intent) and the nutritional value of the formulations. The various chocolate samples were considered accepted and showed good levels of purchase intent, except for the variation enriched with flaxseed. The chocolate samples showed high content of fiber (27 to 40 g/100g), and lower energy value (385 to 413 kcal/100g) compared to conventional dark chocolates with almonds (7 to 11 g of dietary fiber/100g and 500 to 550 kcal/100g), thus providing a healthier alternative for consumers.Item Análise das capacidades físicas em crianças dos sete aos dez anos de idade(2012) Borba, Diego Alcantara; Ferreira Júnior, João; Martini, Angelo Ruediger Pisani; Coelho, Leonardo Nogueira; Coelho, Daniel Barbosa; Vieira, Carlos AlexandrePhysical performance is the term used to group strength, speed, endurance, flexibility and coordination capacities. The physical performance in the children is concern among experts in the field of health. This interest justified because physical activity can prevent illness and increase functional capacity. The aim of present study was assessment physical capacity in children of both sex, boys and girls. After consent of parents, concerns of study 232 children among seven and 10 years-old of both sexes. The performance motor was assessment using sit-and-reach, horizontal jump, abdominal endurance and 30 meters tests run. ANOVA Two-way and Tukey post hoc was used to compared variables among sex and ages. The significant level was 5%. Flexibility did not differ among ages and sex. The horizontal jump distance and abdominals number were higher in male group compared to the female group and eight, nine and 10 years-old were higher compared to seven years-old. The abdominals number was higher in male group compared to female group and eight, nine and 10 years-old are higher compared to seven years-old. The time to going 30 meters was small in the male group compared to female group and running time was small in the 10 years-old compared to other ages and the nine and eight years-old was small than seven years-old. In general, the boys presented better performance than girls in the ages assessment. The age seven years-old apparent represented a period of transition in the physical performance.Item Anemia do lactente: etiologia e prevalência(2002) Hadler, Maria Claret Costa Monteiro; Juliano, Yara; Sigulem, Dirce MariaObjective: To verify the prevalence of anemia, iron deficiency anemia and iron deficiency in infants, at a Public Health Unit in the city of Goiânia – Brazil; to analyze and to correlate the hematologic and biochemical variables. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out. One hundred and ten full-term infants of the 120 mothers interviewed were included. The infants aged between six and twelve months and there were not twins. Socioeconomic and hematologic data was obtained. Venous blood was taken from fasting infants in order to carry out a complete hemogram through electronic cell counting, serum iron, serum ferritin and C-reactive protein, which were used in the evaluation of the etiology of iron deficiency in the anemic infants. Children with hemoglobin < 11g/dL were considered ane mic. Results: The prevalence of anemia was 60.9%. In the diagnosis of the iron deficiency etiology in infants without an inflammation process, when considering the alteration of hemoglobin plus two more indices among mean corpuscular volume (MCV) or mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) or serum ferritin or serum iron, the prevalence of the iron deficiency was 87%. Nevertheless, when red cell distribution width (RDW) was included in the indices, the prevalence was 97.8%. In the non-anemic infants, considering ferritin and RDW, the prevalence of iron deficiency observed was 28%. The best correlation among hematologic and biochemical variables were between hemoglobin and hematocrit (r = 0.946), and MCH with MCV (r = 0.950). Conclusions: The main etiology in infants was iron deficiency anemia and its prevalence varied according to different parameters and criteria.Item Beta-caroteno e câncer(1998-12) Naves, Maria Margareth VelosoThe subject β-carotene and cancer has been studied for more than twenty years, through epidemiologic and experimental researches.Observational epidemiologic studies, both prospective and retrospective, have suggested strongly that high intake of vegetables and fruits which are sources of β-carotene is associated with reduced risk of cancer, specially of lung cancer. However, the results of intervention trials do not demonstrate a preventive potential of β-carotene. Nevertheless, in many studies in experimental animals and in cell cultures, this carotenoid had been shown to act as a potent cancer chemopreventive agent and mechanisms have been proposed to explain this protective effect on biological systems. Researchers suggest that β-carotene protects against cancer, in the amounts easily attained by the consumption of a wide variety of diets, and the chronic pharmacological supplementation is not recommended for healthy populations and for heavy smokers.Item Campomanesia adamantium (Myrtaceae) fruits protect HEPG2cells against carbon tetrachloride-induced toxicity(2015) Fernandes, Thaís de Oliveira Fernandesa; Marcelino, Renato Ivan de Ávila; Moura, Soraia Santana de; Oliveira, Gerlon de Almeida Ribeiro; Naves, Maria Margareth Veloso; Valadares, Marize CamposCampomanesia adamantium (Myrtaceae) is an antioxidant compounds-rich Brazilian fruitpopularly known as gabiroba. In view of this, it was evaluated the hepatoprotective effects ofpulp (GPE) or peel/seed (GPSE) hydroalcoholic extracts of gabiroba on injured liver-derivedHepG2 cells by CCl4(4 mM). The results showed the presence of total phenolic in GPSE was(60%) higher when compared to GPE, associated with interesting antioxidant activity usingDPPH•assay. Additionally, HPLC chromatograms and thin layer chromatography of GPE andGPSE showed the presence of flavonoids. Pretreatment of HepG2 cells with GPE or GPSE(both at 800–1000 g/mL) significantly (p < 0.0001) protected against cytotoxicity inducedby CCl4.Additionally, the cells treated with both extracts (both at 1000 g/mL) showednormal morphology (general and nuclear) contrasting with apoptotic characteristics in thecells only exposed to CCl4. In these experiments, GPSE also was more effective than GPE. Inaddition, CCl4induced a marked increase in AST (p < 0.05) and ALT (p < 0.0001) levels, whileGPE or GPSE significantly (p < 0.0001) reduced these levels, reaching values found in thecontrol group. In conclusion, the results suggest that gabiroba fruits exert hepatoprotectiveeffects on HepG2 cells against the CCl4-induced toxicity, probably, at least in part, associatedwith the presence of antioxidant compounds, especially flavonoids.Item Características físicas e nutricionais de pequis oriundos dos estados de Tocantins, Goiás e Minas Gerais(2014-09) Santos, Aline Medeiros Alves; Fernandes, Daniela Canuto; Sousa, Amanda Goulart de Oliveira; Naves, Ronaldo Veloso; Naves, Maria Margareth VelosoPequi is a native fruit from the Brazilian Cerrado with a great diversity in its physical and chemical characteristics. Studies with fruits from different environments of the Cerrado are scarce. The objective of this study was to analyze, physically and nutritionally, pequi fruits from Tocantins (TO), Goiás (GO) and Minas Gerais (MG) States. The physical analysis of 30 pequi fruits, randomly selected by region, was carried out, and the chemical composition of their pulps was determined. The pequi fruits from MG showed high values of commercially important physical characteristics, as fruit mass, pulp mass and seed (almond) yield. However, fruits from GO showed high pulp yield. Low lipid contents (8 g.100g–1) were observed in the fruits from TO, on the contrary of the fruits from GO and MG (24 and 26 g.100g–1, respectively). Regarding the mineral content, the pequi pulp from the three regions is a source of iron, zinc, phosphorus and magnesium, and the pequi pulp from TO showed considerable contents of calcium (107 mg.100g–1). The native region of the fruits infl uences their physical and chemical characteristics, mainly the pulp yield, moisture and lipid contents, energy density and calcium amount of the pequi pulp. These results indicate the necessity of characterization of the native region and the pequi species for commercial use of the fruits and for utilization of the pulp as a nutritious raw material, in different food systems.Item Caracterização física e química, fenólicos totais e atividade antioxidante da polpa e resíduo de gabiroba(2013-09) Santos, Aline Medeiros Alves; Alves, Maressa Stephanie Ovidio; Fernandes, Thaís de Oliveira; Naves, Ronaldo Veloso; Naves, Maria Margareth VelosoThe Brazilian Cerrado has a wide range of fruit species that have not been sufficiently studied regarding their physical, chemical and functional characteristics. This study aimed to measure the physical characteristics of gabiroba tree’s fruits and analyze the proximate and mineral compositions, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the gabiroba pulp and residue. The physical characteristics of greatest variability were pulp and fruit mass, especially the high pulp yield (46.24%). Gabiroba pulp and residue have high moisture and dietary fiber contents and considerable iron amounts. The gabiroba residue showed higher content of phenolic compounds (1787.65 mg AGE.100g-1) and antioxidant activity (197.13 μmol TE.g-1) than the pulp. However, the values observed in the gabiroba pulp (1222.59 mg AGE.100g-1 and 107.96 μmol TE.g-1, respectively) are higher than those of many fruits traditionally consumed. The total phenolic content showed a strong correlation (r = 0.9723) with antioxidant activity. The results indicate promising prospects for the use of the whole fruit of gabiroba tree due to its appreciable content of nutrients and phenolic compounds, and its antioxidant activity.Item Carotenoids are related to the colour and lipid content of the pequi (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.) pulp from the brazilian Savanna(2014-09) Ribeiro, Débora Melo; Fernandes, Daniela Canuto; Santos, Aline Medeiros Alves; Naves, Maria Margareth VelosoThis study investigated the colour, proximate composition, bioactive compounds (phenolic and carotenoid contents), and antioxidant activity of the pulp of pequi from different regions of the Brazilian Savanna. The colour parameters and the lipid and carotenoid contents of the pulp were significantly different between the samples. The lipid content ranged from 135.4 to 322.5 g/kg. The pequi pulp showed high total phenolic content (1.8 to 3.3 mg GAE/g). The carotenoid amount ranged from 37 to 187 μg/g. The carotenoid content was significantly correlated with the colour and lipid content of the pequi pulp. The antioxidant activity showed a mean IC50 value of 197.9 μg/mL. The pequi pulp is rich in phenolic compounds and carotenoids and has a good antioxidant activity. Its colour is influenced by the carotenoid content, which can be predicted by regression models using routine colour parameters.Item Composição química de nozes e sementes comestíveis e sua relação com a nutrição e saúde(2010-04) Freitas, Jullyana Borges; Naves, Maria Margareth VelosoThis systematic review compares the chemical composition among different types of nuts and edible seeds with regard to nutrients and other bioactive compounds and relates this composition to nutrition and health. This literature review was based on Biological Abstracts, CAB Abstracts, Food Science and Technology Abstracts, Medline and Lilacs, in accordance with the following selection criteria: original research articles published in the last five years in Brazilian or international journals in the fields of Food Science, Medicine I and Medicine II, indexed in the Institute for Scientific Information. The articles were analyzed according to pre-established quality criteria. True nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, chestnuts, cashew nuts, Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, walnuts and pistachios) and edible seeds (peanuts and baru almonds) are good sources of lipids and proteins. The lipid fractions are composed especially of oleic (C18:1) and linoleic (C18:2) fatty acids, with emphasis on the ω-6 to ω-3 relation in macadamia, walnut, chestnut and baru almond, whose profiles favor the reduction of cardiovascular disease risk. Their proteins present an amino acid profile that meets the requirements of school children and contain more sulfur-containing amino acids than legumes such as beans. These nuts and edible seeds are also good sources of phytoesterols, mainly.β-sitosterol; minerals, particularly calcium, iron, zinc, selenium and potassium; tocopherols, especiallyα-tocopherol; and insoluble fiber. These nutrient-dense foods contain bioactive substances that maximize their beneficial health effects and, for this reason, their study and consumption should be encouraged.Item Conselho de alimentação escolar em escolas quilombolas goianas: exercício do controle social(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2016-06) Sousa, Lucilene Maria de; Martins, Karine Anusca; Jesus, Linda Priscila Barbosa de; Monego, Estelamaris Tronco; Alexandre, Veruska PradoThe School Feeding Council (CAE) is responsible for overseeing and monitoring the implementation of the National School Nutrition Program (PNAE). This study sought to identify the performance of the CAE in Quilombola schools in Goiás. The participants were thirteen advisors and, to verify a possible association of the variables with the running time in the PNAE, we applied Cramér’s V. The monitoring of the implementation of the PNAE (46.15%) and visits to schools (38.46%) were the most mentioned assignments. As for the supervision of finance and accounting, 53.85% (n = 7) did not know the quilombola PNAE, and only two knew the per capita amount transferred. The main difficulty to visit the schools was the lack of transport. We observed a positive association between time of work and knowledge of the quilombola PNAE (v = 0.5476). There is need for continuous training on the duties of the PNAE advisors.Item Consumo alimentar e perfil antropométrico de bailarinos de uma companhia de dança contemporânea de Goiânia, Goiás(2011-12) Jacintho, Carolina Lôbo de Almeida Barros; Hadler, Maria Claret Costa MonteiroObjective This study assessed the dietary intake and anthropometric profile of professional and semi-professional groups of dancers, compared the body composition of males and females and analyzed the adequacy of food intake with respect to their requirements. Methods The sample consisted of 16 dancers of both genders aged 20 to 35 years from an international contemporary dance company of Goiânia (GO). The following were collected: weight; height; chest, axilla, triceps, subscapular, abdomen, suprailiac and front thigh skinfold thicknesses; and two 24-hour dietary recalls. The energy requirements were determined by the United States Institute of Medicine and macronutrient requirements by the American College of Sports Medicine. The data were input in the software Epi Info 6.04 and analyzed by the software Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 18.0. The Shapiro-Wilk, Mann Whitney and Wilcoxon tests were used and the significance level was set to 5%. Results The only body measurement that differed between the groups was triceps skinfold thickness among women, which was smaller in the professional group (p=0.03). Triceps and front thigh (p<0.001), chest (p=0.007) and suprailiac (p=0.009) skinfold thicknesses differed between genders (p<0.001), being greater among women. Both men (p=0.01) and women (p=0.02) were consuming less energy than their requirements. Conclusion There were no significant differences in the body composition of individuals of the same gender. Triceps, chest, suprailiac and thigh skinfold thicknesses and percentage of body fat were higher in women. Energy, carbohydrate and protein intakes were below the recommended amounts.Item Could whole-body cryotherapy (below −100°C) improve muscle recovery from muscle damage?(2014) Ferreira Júnior, João Batista; Marques, Martim Francisco Bottaro; Loenneke, Jeremy Paul; Vieira, Amilton; Vieira, Carlos Alexandre; Bemben, Michael GeorgeItem Does whole-body cryotherapy improve vertical jump recovery following a high-intensity exercise bout?(2015) Vieira, Amilton; Marques, Martim Francisco Bottaro; Ferreira Júnior, João Batista; Vieira, Carlos Alexandre; Cleto, Vitor Alonso; Cadore, Eduardo Lusa; Simões, Herbert Gustavo; Carmo, Jake Carvalho do; Brown, Lee E.Whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) has been used as a recovery strategy following different sports activities. Thus, the aim of the study reported here was to examine the effect of WBC on vertical jump recovery following a high-intensity exercise (HIE) bout. Twelve trained men (mean ± standard deviation age = 23.9±5.9 years) were randomly exposed to two different conditions separated by 7 days: 1) WBC (3 minutes of WBC at -110°C immediately after the HIE) and 2) control (CON; no WBC after the HIE). The HIE consisted of six sets of ten repetitions of knee extensions at 60° ⋅ s-1 concentric and 180° ⋅ s-1 eccentric on an isokinetic dynamometer. The vertical jump test was used to evaluate the influence of HIE on lower extremity muscular performance. The vertical jump was performed on a force platform before HIE (T1) and 30 minutes after (T2) the WBC and CON conditions. As a result of HIE, jump height, muscle power, and maximal velocity (Vmax) had significant decreases between T1 and T2, however no significance was found between the WBC and CON conditions. The results indicate that one session of WBC had no effect on vertical jump following an HIE compared with a CON condition. WBC may not improve muscle-function (dependent on stretch-shortening cycle) recovery in very short periods (ie, 30 minutes) following HIE.Item Educação em diabetes: do acolhimento ao autocuidado(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2017-07) Damas, Gleicy Kelle Alves; Santana, Bruna de Paula; Pires, Thais Marielly de Souza; Brandao, Amanda dos Anjos; Pereira, Maria Clara D´Alcantara; Castro, Vivia Ribeiro; Silva, Ana Luiza Araujo da; Lourenco, Danielly Rezende; Marques, Rosana de Morais Borges; Stringhini, Maria Luiza FerreiraDiabetes education is an ongoing process of access to knowledge for patients to develop skills for disease management. With this in mind, the present project occupies the time of waiting for hospital consultations to develop educational actions. The topics covered are presented by graduates, in a playful, simple way, with illustrative figures or games motivating discussion, stimulating the exchange of experiences among patients, academics and health professionals. Three culinary workshops were also held and 37 messages were sent by mobile app, recalling the content discussed in person and maintaining a link between the patient and the health professionals. The results of the educational actions are evaluated by tests and demonstrate that, in 14 actions, the correct answers in the post-test exceeded those in the pre-test. It was concluded that the project contributes to the promotion of the patients’ health and to the academic background of undergraduates.Item Educação nutricional para pacientes em hemodiálise: controle da hipercalemia e hiperfosfatemia(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2020-05-04) Silva, Ana Luiza Araujo da; Stringhini, Maria Luiza Ferreira; Freitas, Ana Tereza Vaz de SouzaNutritional education activities in hemodialysis clinics are of utmost importance for treatment engagement and consequent im provement in the quality of life of patients with Chronic Kidney Disea se (CKD). In this way, the project presented aims to provide nutritional education in the control of hyperkalaemia and hyperphosphatemia to hemodialysis patients through educational actions, which besides optimizing the time of the hemodialysis sessions help in the adhesion of the diets. Several topics were addressed throughout the project, including potassium and phosphorus intake in the DRC, through dia logic lectures using visual illustrative resources and using food bingo with images of food sources of phosphorus or potassium. The results of the activities were positive, demonstrating interest and involve ment of the majority of the patients. It was concluded that the ex tension project contributed to the health promotion of hemodialysis patients, aided in the treatment, providing knowledge and autonomy for a better quality of life of these individuals.Item Effects of baru almond and Brazil nut against hyperlipidemia and oxidative stress in vivo(2015) Fernandes, Daniela Canuto; Alves, Aline Medeiros; Castro, Gabriela Salim Ferreira; Jordão Junior, Alceu Afonso; Naves, Maria Margareth VelosoThis study evaluated the effect of baru (Dipteryx alata Vog.) almond, an edible seed native from Brazilian Savanna, and Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa H. B. K.) on serum lipid profile and hepatic lipid peroxidation in rats fed high-fat diets. Four groups of eight young adult male Wistar rats were treated for nine weeks with one of the following diets: high-fat diets - 0.1% colic acid + 1% cholesterol + 5% lard + 15% of lipid from lard, baru almond or Brazil nut - and reference diet (7% soybean oil). Groups fed with baru almond and Brazil nut showed lower serum contents of total cholesterol and triacylglycerols than those of lard group. Baru almond group also showed higher HDL-c concentration than those of Brazil nut and lard groups, similar to that of reference group. Lipid peroxidation (through total malondialdehyde) was lower and vitamin E content was higher in the livers of the animals treated with baru almond and Brazil nut than those of lard group. These results indicate that the Brazilian native oilseeds, especially baru almond, have great potential for dietary use in dyslipidemia prevention and control.Item Expression of miR‑296‑5p as predictive marker for radiotherapy resistance in early‑stage laryngeal carcinoma(2015-08) Maia, Danielle; Carvalho, Ana Carolina de; Horst, Maria Aderuza; Carvalho, André Lopes; Scapulatempo Neto, Cristovam; Oliveira, Andre Luiz Vettore dePurpose: Definitive radiation therapy is the mainstay of treatment for early stage laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). However, up to 30% of the patients do not respond to radiotherapy. Unfortunately, we are unable to predict which tumors are likely to respond to radiation, and which will be resistant and persist. Therefore, the development of novel markers to predict response to radiotherapy is urgently needed. This study was designed to evaluate the expression pattern of microRNAs (miRNAs) in LSCC in order to identify markers capable of segregating radioresistant and radiosensitive tumors and to investigate the relationship between the expression of these miRNAs and the prognosis of LSCC. Methods: The expression profile of 667 miRNAs was determined in an initial screening of nine early-stage LSCC samples (5 radioresistant and 4 radiosensitive) using TaqMan Low-Density Array (TLDA). Real-time polymerase chain reactions were performed to validate the expression of selected miRNAs in an expanded LSCC cohort (20 radioresistant and 14 radiosensitive). The miRNA expression level was scored as high or low based on the median of the expression in the LSCC samples. Results: A comprehensive miRNA expression profiling enabled the identification of four miRNAs (miR-296-5p miR- 452, miR-183* and miR-200c) differentially expressed in radioresistant LSCC. Moreover, the analysis of additional 34 LSCC samples, confirmed the expression of miR-296-5p as significantly related to radioresistance (p = 0.002) as well as an association of this marker with recurrence (p = 0.025) in early stage laryngeal cancer. Conclusions: This study indicates that miR-296-5p expression is associated with resistance to radiotherapy and tumor recurrence in early stage LSCC, showing the feasibility of this marker as a novel prognostic factor for this malignance. Furthermore, miR-296-5p expression could be helpful in the identification of tumors resistant to radiotherapy; thus aiding the clinicians in the choice of the best therapeutic scheme to be used in each case.Item Factors associated with obesity in Brazilian children enrolled in the School Health Program: a case-control study(2014) Honório, Renata Félix; Hadler, Maria Claret Costa MonteiroCase-control studies evaluating the factors associated with childhood are scarce in Brazil. We aimed to analyze the factors associated with obesity in Brazilian schoolchildren enrolled in the School Health Program.A case-control study was conducted on 80 schoolchildren aged 7 to 9 years, 40 of them obese and 40 of normal weight according to the cut-off points established by the World Health Organization (2007). Weight, height and waist circumference were obtained. Socioeconomic, demographic, health, eating behavior and lifestyle data were collected by applying a questionnaire to the per son responsible and by determining his/her nutritional status. A binary unconditional logistic regression model (univariate and multivariate) was used for data analy sis. The prevalence of obesity was 7.21%. The final mo del showed that duration of breast-feeding ≥6 months of age (OR 5.3; 95% CI: 1.3-22.1), excess weight of the person responsible (OR 7.1; 95% CI: 1.2-40.2), a se dentary level of physical activity (OR 4.1; 95% CI: 1.1- 15.5), and fast chewing (OR 7.4; 95% CI: 2.1-26.9) were significantly associated with childhood obesity. The fac tors associated with obesity in schoolchildren were du ration of breast-feeding ≥6 months, persons responsible with excess weight, and sedentary children who chew fast. The present study contributes information to be used for the health actions planned by the School Heal th Program.Item Factors associated with the feeding practices of the adult population of Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil(2014-03) Weiss, Veruska Prado Alexandre; Peixoto, Maria do Rosario Gondim; Schmitz, Bethsáida de Abreu Soares; Moura, Erly Catarina deThis cross-sectional study identified the factors associated with adult feeding practices in Goiânia, the capital of the state of Goiás, in the Midwestern region of Brazil, by means of telephone interviews with 2,002 adults (≥ 18 years old). Information about demographic aspects, lifestyle, nutritional status, and food consumption was collected, leading to a sum of healthy food choices. It was observed that men and women have an average of two healthy food choices and low frequency of fruit intake (5.4% of men; 8.5% of women), as well as the consumption of legumes and vegetables (18.1% of men; 22.6% of women). The hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed that the mean healthy food choice among men increases with age and physical practice, and among women, with paid work. The prevalence of unhealthy food choices associated with other risk behaviors favors the development of chronic diseases. Multi-strategy and intersectorial actions are necessary to overcome this situation.Item Fatores associados à prática de atividade física na população adulta de Goiânia: monitoramento por meio de entrevistas telefônicas(2008) Cunha, Iana Cândido; Peixoto, Maria do Rosario Gondim; Jardim, Paulo César Brandão Veiga; Weiss, Veruska Prado AlexandreIntroduction: Practicing regular, moderate to vigorous physical activities has an inverse relation to morbidity-mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases and obesity. It is essential to identify the determinants of this practice in order to propose strategies for populations to adopt a physically active lifestyle. Objective: To determine the factors associated with practicing physical activity and sedentary lifestyle in the adult population of Goiania. Methods: Multicenter, cross-sectional study, carried out in Goiania with a probabilistic sample of the adult population with landline phones. 2,002 interviews were conducted through phone calls, setting a success rate of 73.1%. The database was built, and statistical analyses were carried out with the support of STATA software, version 8.0. Results: A sedentary lifestyle was more prevalent among women (55.5%) than among men (42.0%). The prevalence of hypertension was lower in individuals practicing physical activity (p=0.0002). Regarding leisure-time physical activity, women were more inactive (79.3%) than men (66.9%). There was an inverse relationship between a sedentary lifestyle and the educational background for both genders. Conclusion: Due to this snapshot, showing a high frequency of sedentary lifestyle in the population, we suggest the implementation of primary prevention strategies to improve the risk profile for noncommunicable chronic diseases.
