Resumo
Population surveys are a key component
of the relevant activities for public health.
There is growing interest in identifying behavioral
aspects which influence individual and collective
health, such as physical activity (PA). The
aim of this study is to present PA data from the
2008 Brazilian National Household Survey
(PNAD) according to regional distribution and
the socio-demographic characteristics. A partnership
between the Brazilian Institute of Geography
and Statistics and the Ministry of Health was
responsible for preparing the health supplement
of the questionnaire. The sample size was 292,553
individuals. The proportion of subjects practicing
PA at the recommended levels in leisure time
was 10.5%, exactly the same proportion of subjects
reporting active transportation to and from
work. Males and younger adults were more active;
schooling was directly related to leisure-time
PA and inversely associated with transport-related
physical activity. One fifth of the Brazilians
did not report any physical activity at all and
35.7% watch TV for 3 hours or more, on average,
per day. These data may help design public policies
aimed at promoting health, in particular
through PA, which may positively influence on
the quality of life of the Brazilian population.
