Resumo
This study sought to investigate the
prevalence of sexual intercourse among adoles-
cents in a Brazilian city and its association with
sociodemographic factors, health-risk behaviors,
and body image perception. A cross-sectional stu-
dy was conducted using data from the National
Adolescent School-based Health Survey (PeNSE),
carried out in 2009. The sample comprised scho-
olchildren enrolled in the 9th year in the city of
Goiânia, Goiás (n= 3,099), mostly aged between
13 and 15. The dependent variable was the repor-
ting of sexual intercourse at least once. To identify
variables associated with sexual activity, Poisson
regression analysis was used. The prevalence of
sexual intercourse at least once in the adolescents’
lifetime was 26.5% (95% CI= 23.8-29.4). Pre-
valence was higher among males, those aged 14
years or older, who reported not living with their
mother or with their father, who attended public
schools, reported alcohol, tobacco or other drug
use, and were involved in fights and family violen-
ce. The conclusion reached was that the prevalen-
ce of sexual intercourse was high and associated
with poor sociodemographic conditions, health
-risk behaviors and violence. These factors should
be considered in the health promotion strategies
seeking more safe and healthy sexual behavior du-
ring adolescence.
