Resumo
Introduction: 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.
