Title: Prevalence and factors associated with disease risk behaviors non-communicable
diseases in adolescents and young adults in Brazil
Introduction: Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors such as smoking, alcohol consumption,
unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and excess weight are highly prevalent in adolescents
and young adults, and can contribute to the development of NCDs and premature
mortality in the adult. Objective: Estimate the magnitude and factors associated with risk
behaviors for NCDs in adolescents and young adults in Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional,
baseline study population, which used as a data source the National Health Survey
conducted in 2019. The population analyzed were teenagers and young people aged 15 to
24. The data were collected through individual interviews during home visits, through a
standardized form. The dependent variables included the main risk factors for Chronic
Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs). The demographic variables and socioeconomic
variables were used as independent. Multiple regression models Poisson were applied to
investigate the magnitude of the association between the independent variables and the
dependent variables. The PNS 2019 was approved by the National Ethics Commission in
Research (opinion: 3,529,376). Results: 10,460 individuals (5,001 men and 5,459
women). Regardless of gender, the most common risk factors prevalent were the nonrecommended consumption of fruits and vegetables (92.6%) and physical inactivity
during leisure time (43.3%). The prevalence of tobacco smokers, consumption of
alcoholic drinks once or more a month and alcohol abuse were 8.9%, 28.7%, 18.5%,
respectively. The prevalence of regular consumption of soft drinks and/or artificial juices
was 17.2%. The prevalence of excess weight was 32.5%. Compared to women, men had
a higher prevalence of smoking, consumption of alcoholic beverages once or more a
month, abusive consumption of alcoholic beverages, insufficient consumption of fruits
and vegetables and consumption of ultra-processed. On the other hand, women had a
higher prevalence of physical inactivity during leisure time and being overweight. Young
adults, males and individuals with less education, of black race/color, with lower family
income and Residents of urban areas had a higher prevalence for most risk factors. risk.
Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of risk factors in adolescents and young
Brazilian adults, mainly among young men and women individuals with less education,
of black race/color, with lower family income and residents of urban areas. These results
indicate the need for policies to reduction in the magnitude of risk factors for NCDs in
adolescents and young adults in Brazil. Relevance and impact: This is the first
comprehensive study that estimated the prevalence and factors associated with risk
behaviors in adolescents and adults young people, including the non-student population.
The results of the study can support specific actions for this population within the
Strategic Action Plan for the Coping with Chronic Diseases and Non-Communicable
Diseases in Brazil 2021-2030 of the Ministry of Health, including intensification of health
promotion actions and disease prevention in subpopulations with a higher prevalence of
risk factors.
