Abstract

Background: The present study aims to estimate leisure-time physical activity and television (TV) viewing curves according to age stratified by sex, area of residence, and socioeconomic position.

Methods: Using data from the Brazilian National Health Survey, we estimated the prevalence of leisure-time physical activity and TV viewing according to continuous age. The estimates were calculated using fractional polynomials and stratified by sex, wealth, skin color, and area of residence.

Results: The sample included 87,376 adults (aged 18 y or over). In general, leisure-time physical activity decreased according to age while TV viewing increased. Regarding behavior of curves according to stratifiers, for leisure-time physical activity the disadvantaged groups maintained a pattern of low physical activity across all age groups or presented the decrease earlier when compared to groups in social advantage. On the other hand, for TV viewing, women presented an increase in prevalence before men, and individuals living in the urban area and the wealthiest group were those with a higher increase according to age.

Conclusions: Our findings may help researchers and policymakers further explore inequalities in physical activity across life in different settings, as well as develop sensitive cultural actions to support more vulnerable people to adopt public health recommendations.

巴西成年人口在休闲时间体育活动和看电视方面按年龄划分的不平等。

背景：本研究旨在根据年龄、性别、居住地区和社会经济地位来估计休闲时间的体育活动和电视观看曲线。方法：利用巴西国家健康调查的数据，我们根据连续年龄估计了休闲时间体育活动和看电视的患病率。估计值使用分数多项式计算，并按性别、财富、肤色和居住面积进行分层。结果：样本包括87376名成年人（18岁或以上）。一般来说，休闲时间的体育活动随着年龄的增长而减少，而看电视的次数则增加。关于根据分层者的曲线行为，对于休闲时间的体育活动，弱势群体在所有年龄组中都保持着低体育活动的模式，或者与具有社会优势的群体相比更早地出现了减少。另一方面，在电视观看方面，女性的患病率比男性高，而生活在城市地区和最富裕群体的人根据年龄增长率更高。结论：我们的研究结果可能有助于研究人员和政策制定者进一步探索不同环境下生活中体育活动的不平等，并制定敏感的文化行动，支持更弱势的人采纳公共卫生建议。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Physical Activity and Health (JPAH) publishes original research and review papers examining the relationship between physical activity and health, studying physical activity as an exposure as well as an outcome. As an exposure, the journal publishes articles examining how physical activity influences all aspects of health. As an outcome, the journal invites papers that examine the behavioral, community, and environmental interventions that may affect physical activity on an individual and/or population basis. The JPAH is an interdisciplinary journal published for researchers in fields of chronic disease.
