Association between socio-economic status and physical activity is mediated by social support in Brazilian students.

This study evaluated whether the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is mediated by social support of peers and parents. A cross-sectional study included students (n = 1182) aged 11 to 18 years who were recruited in 2014 from public schools in Fortaleza, Brazil. Participants completed a questionnaire to assess all variables. Mediation analyses were performed to determine the role of parental support and peer support on the relationship between SES and MVPA. Also, moderated-mediation analyses with estimating of conditional indirect effects were performed in order to identify whether gender is a moderator of the mediating effect. A positive and significant association between SES and MVPA was found among Brazilian students, and social support of parents and peers were significant mediators of this relationship. Conditional indirect effects showed that both parental and peer support had a significant indirect effect among boys; only parental support had a significant indirect effect among girls. These results suggest that improving social support can help reduce the impact of SES on physical activity among Brazilian adolescents.

Sociodemographic factors and lifestyle behaviours associated with bullying victimization and perpetration in a sample of Brazilian adolescents.

This article aims to identify the association of sociodemographic factors and lifestyle behaviours with bullying perpetration and victimization among high school students. The adolescents (n=852) answered a questionnaire about bullying (victims and perpetrators), sociodemographic factors (sex, age, maternal education, and participant's work status), tobacco use, alcohol use, illicit drug experimentation, physical activity, screen time, and sleep duration. Multilevel logistic regression models were performed. Older adolescents were less likely to be victims of bullying. Females were less likely to be perpetrators or victims of bullying. Adolescents who were working were more likely to be involved in bullying in both forms. Participation in non-sport activities and alcohol consumption were associated with higher odds of bullying victimization. We have identified specific populational subgroups that are more susceptible to being victims and/or perpetrators of bullying, which could support tailor-specific interventions to prevent bullying.

Socioeconomics inequities associated with different domains of physical activity: results of the National Health Survey 2019, Brazil. / Iniquidades socioeconômicas associadas aos diferentes domínios da atividade física: resultados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde 2019.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the socioeconomic indicators associated with engagement in physical activity (PA) in the leisure-time, transportation, domestic and occupational domains, in Brazilian adults. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with secondary data from the National Health Survey (PNS), conducted in 2019. The factors associated with engagement in PA were analyzed using logistic regression. RESULTS: The study involved 88,500 Brazilian adults with mean age of 45 ± 17.5 years old. Longer working hours [odds ratio (OR) = 0.74; 95%CI 0.66;0.82; > 40h vs. ≥ 20h] and female sex (OR = 0.67; 95%CI 0.63;0.71) were associated with lower chances of engaging in leisure-time PA. Higher income (OR = 3.20; 95%CI 2.79;3.67; > 5 vs. ≥ minimum wage) and education level (OR = 3.01; 95%CI 2.74;3.32 - complete higher education vs. incomplete elementary school) were positively associated with leisure-time PA. CONCLUSION: Socioeconomic correlates were strongly related to engagement in PA in Brazilian adults, suggesting a pattern of inequity marked by the need for survival, which is socially reproduced.

Active commuting among workers in the Southern of Brazil: a comparative analysis between 2006 and 2016.

This article aims to compare the prevalence of active commuting to work in adults in the Southern region of Brazil between 2006 and 2016 according to sociodemographic and labor characteristics. The data from the Brazilian System for the Surveillance of Risk and Protection Factors for Chronic Diseases - VIGITEL were compared in 2006 and 2016 (≥18 years). Active commuting to work, sex, age group, education and job characteristics were collected by telephone survey and transportation in the cities of Florianópolis, Curitiba and Porto Alegre, using absolute and relative frequencies with their respective 95% confidence intervals. Active commuting increased significantly in 2016 compared to 2006. Florianópolis had the highest prevalence in the two years analyzed. In all capitals, there was a significant increase in the prevalence of the outcome, mainly for women, with secondary education and only in Florianópolis for men, with low schooling. The prevalence has also increased for job characteristics in all capitals. Active commuting to work increased significantly among adults living in southern Brazil, with emphasis on Florianópolis. Expanding interventions in this context is a necessity in Brazil.

Socioeconomic inequalities in the consumption of minimally processed and ultra-processed foods in Brazilian adolescents.

In this study, we evaluated socioeconomic inequalities in the consumption of in natura/minimally processed and ultra-processed foods among adolescents. We used data from the Brazilian National Survey of School Health (PeNSE), 2015. According to the self-reported consumption of beans, vegetables and fruits, a score of in natura/minimally processed foods was generated (0-21 points). Sodas, sweets, instant noodles, and ultra-processed meat were used for the score of ultra-processed foods (0-21 points). Equality indicators were gender, maternal education, and socioeconomic level. Absolute difference, ratios, concentration index and slope index of inequality were calculated. Adolescents (n=101,689, 51% girls, 14.2 years) reported a mean score of 9.97 and 11.46 for ultra-processed foods and in natura/minimally processed foods, respectively. Absolute and relative differences between adolescents with the highest and lowest socioeconomic level, there were differences of 2.64 points and 33% for consumption of in natura/minimally processed foods; and 1.48 points and 15% for ultra-processed foods. Adolescents from higher socioeconomic level ate more in natura/minimally processed foods and ultra-processed foods.

Waist circumference was associated with 2-year blood pressure change in community dwelling adults independently of BMI.

OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to analyze the association of 2-year changes in BMI and waist circumference with changes in blood pressure (BP) in a randomized sample of community-dwelling adults. METHODS: A sample of 331 middle-aged and older adults (mean age of 59.6 ± 17.3 years) was randomly selected. Measurements of SBP and DBP, BMI, and waist circumference were collected at baseline and after 2-year follow-up. Chronological age, sex, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and self-reported medical diagnosis and use of medication for hypertension, diabetes, and high low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were covariates. Multiple linear regression models were adopted for statistical analysis. RESULTS: SBP was positively associated with BMI (ß = 0.48, P = 0.013) and waist circumference (ß = 0.21, P = 0.005) at baseline and only with waist circumference at follow-up (ß = 0.20, P = 0.007). DBP was positively associated with BMI (ß = 0.31, P = 0.009) and waist circumference (ß = 0.12, P = 0.006) values at baseline and at follow-up (BMI ß = 0.42, P = 0.001; waist circumference ß = 0.18, P = 0.001). Only the 2-year changes in waist circumference were associated to changes in SBP (ß = 0.33, P = 0.013), regardless of confounding factors and BMI. CONCLUSION: It is suggested that waist circumference is the main factor for control over the time in strategies focused on BP management in adult population.

Associations between Sociodemographic, Dietary, and Substance Use Factors with Self-Reported 24-Hour Movement Behaviors in a Sample of Brazilian Adolescents.

We aimed to identify sociodemographic, dietary, and substance use factors associated with self-reported sleep duration, physical activity (PA), and sedentary behavior (SB) indicators in a sample of Brazilian adolescents. Adolescents (n = 731, 51% female, mean age: 16.4 years) answered a questionnaire. The volume of total PA, sports, non-sports, total SB, leisure-time SB, involuntary SB, sleep duration, dietary behaviors, sociodemographic, and substance use indicators were self-reported. Multilevel linear models were fitted. Females engaged in less total PA, sports, total SB, and leisure-time SB, but in more involuntary SB than males. Age was positively associated with non-sports and involuntary SB. Socioeconomic status was positively associated with total PA. Adolescents who lived with the mother only practiced more sports compared to those living with two parents. Unprocessed food was positively associated with total PA and sports. Processed food was inversely associated with total PA and non-sports, and positively associated with total SB and leisure-time SB. Alcohol use was positively associated with total PA, and tobacco smoking was negatively associated with total PA. No associations were observed for sleep duration. In conclusion, sociodemographic, dietary, and substance use factors are associated with the 24 h movement behaviors among Brazilian adolescents, and some associations are type specific.

Attitudes towards body weight dissatisfaction associated with adolescents' perceived health and sleep (PeNSE 2015).

This study aimed to investigate whether attitudes towards body weight dissatisfaction is associated with perceived health and impairments in sleep among a national population-based sample of Brazilian adolescents. This is a cross-sectional data from the 2015 National School-Based Health Survey (PeNSE). A total of 100.182 students (70.8% were between 14 to 15) in ninth-grade, enrolled in public and private schools were eligible for data analysis. Variables were measured using a questionnaire and binary logistic regression was used. There was association between attitudes towards body weight dissatisfaction and perceived health (not controlling weight = OR: 2.19, 95%CI: 2.00-2.40; trying to lose = OR: 1.90, 95%CI: 1.75-2.05; gain = OR: 2.22, 95%CI: 2.01-2.46; maintain = OR: 1.81, 95%CI: 1.54-2.14). Adolescents were also more likely to present impairments in sleep (not controlling weight = OR: 1.21, 95%CI: 1.11-1.32; trying to lose = OR: 1.16, 95%CI: 1.08-1.25; gain = OR: 1.43, 95%CI: 1.28-1.61; maintain = OR: 1.43, 95%CI: 1.22-2.68). Dissatisfaction is an additional concern in the daily life of adolescents, which is associated to depreciation of the quality of sleep and decrement of psychological well-being.

Smoking among industrial workers in Brazil: association with sociodemographic factors, alcohol consumption, and stress levels.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of smoking, as well as its association with sociodemographic factors, alcohol consumption, and stress levels, among industrial workers in Brazil. METHODS: This was a nationwide survey, conducted in 24 capitals in Brazil through the application of a pre-tested questionnaire. The response to the question "What is your smoking status?" was the outcome variable. To determine the associations, we performed Poisson regression analyses in which the inputs were blocks of variables: block 1 (age and marital status); block 2 (level of education and gross family income); block 3 (geographic region); and block 4 (alcohol consumption and stress level). All analyses were stratified by gender. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 47,328 workers ≥ 18 years of age, of whom 14,577 (30.8%) were women. The prevalence of smoking was 13.0% (15.2% in men and 7.9% in women). Advancing age, alcohol consumption, and a high stress level were positively associated with smoking. A lower risk of smoking was associated with being married, having a higher level of education, and living in the northeastern region of the country (versus the southern region). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of smoking was greater in men than in women. Alcohol consumption and high stress levels appear to promote smoking.

[Fruit and vegetable consumption over a decade among adolescents in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil]. / Consumo de frutas e verduras por adolescentes catarinenses ao longo de uma década.

Understanding the changes in the trends of fruit and vegetable consumption among adolescents is important in order to implement public health actions. The scope of this article is to investigate the changes over a ten-year period in the daily fruit and vegetable consumption among adolescents from Santa Catarina, according to sex, age and housing area. It is a secondary analysis of a panel survey entitled "Lifestyle and Risk Behavior of Adolescents in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil (ComPAC)." Adolescents (15-19 years of age) of state schools in 2001 (n=5.028) and 2011 (n=6.529) answered a questionnaire about fruit and vegetable consumption as well as about sociodemographic aspects. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were applied, according to sex, age and housing area. There was a decrease in daily fruit (39.1% and 16.6%) and vegetable (40.1% and 20.6%) consumption. Different prevalence levels were observed when analyzing subgroups, mainly among girls. From 2001 to 2011, daily vegetable consumption among boys and adolescents in rural areas remained the same. The decrease in daily consumption of fruit and vegetables among adolescents aged 15 to 19 in Santa Catarina highlights the need for the development of strategies to reverse this scenario.

Compreender mudanças no consumo de frutas e verduras por adolescentes é importante para criação de ações de saúde pública. O objetivo deste artigo é investigar mudanças, em dez anos, no consumo diário de frutas e verduras por adolescentes, de acordo com sexo, idade e área de moradia. Estudo de painel (análise secundária) da pesquisa "Estilo de vida e comportamentos de risco de jovens catarinenses". Adolescentes (15-19 anos) de escolas estaduais, em 2001 (n = 5.028) e 2011 (n = 6.529), responderam questionário sobre consumo de frutas e verduras e aspectos sociodemográficos. Estatística descritiva e regressão logística (2001 vs 2011), estratificada para sexo, idade e área de moradia. Houve diminuição no consumo diário de frutas (39,1% e 16,6%) e de verduras (40,1% e 20,6%). Diferentes prevalências são observadas de acordo com subgrupos, principalmente entre moças. A chance para consumo diário de verduras entre rapazes e adolescentes de área rural continuou a mesma. A diminuição na prevalência do consumo diário de frutas e verduras por adolescentes catarinenses de 15 a 19 anos aponta necessidade de criação de estratégias para reversão deste cenário.

Latin American interventions in children and adolescents' sedentary behavior: a systematic review.

OBJECTIVE To identify and evaluate the effects of community-based interventions on the sedentary behavior (SB) of Latin American children and adolescents. METHODS A systematic review on community-based trials to reduce and/or control SB in Latin American countries (Prospero: CRD42017072157). Five databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO and Lilacs) and a reference lists were searched. RESULTS Ten intervention studies met the eligibility criteria and composed the descriptive synthesis. These studies were conducted in Brazil (n=5), Mexico (n=3), Ecuador (n=1) and Colombia (n=1). Most interventions were implemented in schools (n=8) by educational components, such as meetings, lessons, and seminars, on health-related subjects (n=6). Only two studies adopted specific strategies to reduce/control SB; others focused on increasing physical activity and/or improving diet. Only one study used an accelerometer to measure SB. Seven studies investigated recreational screen time. Eight studies showed statistically significant effects on SB reduction (80%). CONCLUSIONS Latin America community-based interventions reduced children and adolescents' SB. Further studies should: define SB as a primary outcome and implement strategies to reduce such behaviour; focus in different SBs and settings, other than recreational screen time or at-home sitting time; and use objective tools together with questionnaires to measure sedentary behaviour in.

School-Based Intervention on Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Brazilian Students: A Nonrandomized Controlled Trial.

BACKGROUND: In response to the worldwide increasing prevalence of low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), several interventions have been developed. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a school-based intervention on CRF in Brazilian students. METHODS: A nonrandomised controlled design tested 432 students (intervention group: n = 247) from 6th to 9th grade recruited from two public secondary schools in Florianopolis, in 2015. The intervention entitled "MEXA-SE" (move yourself), applied over 13 weeks, included four components: (1) increases in physical activity during Physical Education classes; (2) active recess; (3) educational sessions; and (4) educational materials. CRF (20-m shuttle run test) was the primary outcome. RESULTS: The effect size of the intervention on CRF was 0.15 (CI 95% = -0.04; 0.34). In the within-group comparisons, VO2max decreased significantly from baseline to follow-up in the control group but remained constant in the intervention group. After adjustment variables, differences between intervention and control group were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The "MEXA-SE" intervention did not have an effect on adolescents' CRF. However, maintenance of VO2max in intervention group and a reduction within control group demonstrates that this intervention may be beneficial for long-term CRF and, possibly, the increased intervention time could result in a better effect.

Change in overweight and obesity over a decade according to sociodemographic factors in Brazilian adolescents.

The aims were to examine changes in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among students from 2001 to 2011, and to verify if these changes differ according to age group, area of residence, and family income. We analyzed two cross-sectional surveys conducted in 2001 and 2011 with brazilian adolescents. Sociodemographic and anthropometric characteristics were self-reported using a questionnaire. Multinomial logistic regression was used to analyze changes in overweight and obesity between the two surveys. The nutritional status was the outcome of the present study and the surveys (2001 and 2011) were the exposure. The odds of being overweight and obese were higher among boys and girls in urban areas in the 2011 survey compared to the 2001. Boys and girls with higher income were also more likely to present overweight and obesity in the second survey compared to the first. An increase of overweight and obesity was observed over a decade. We suggest that future interventions consider the area of residence and the family income to strengthen the effectiveness of actions developed to prevent and control these indicators among adolescents.

The effect of an intervention on physical activity of moderate-and-vigorous intensity, and sedentary behavior during adolescents' time at school. / Efeito de uma intervenção sobre atividade física moderada a vigorosa e comportamento sedentário no tempo escolar de adolescentes.

INTRODUCTION: This study evaluated the effect of an intervention on the engagement in physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) of sixth to ninth grade students during school-time, physical education (PE) classes, and recesses at two public schools in Florianopolis, SC, Brazil. METHOD: Schools were divided into control and experimental groups. Participants wore accelerometers during school-time, and PA and SB were estimated for school-time, PE classes and recesses at the baseline and after the intervention. The intervention was composed of four components: changes were made in the PE classes, including giving instruction to teachers; sports equipment was made available for use during recesses; educational sessions on the format of classes were conducted; folders and posters were distributed. Data was analyzed using an Analysis of Covariance for repeated measures comparing baseline data with post intervention data, and for independent samples when comparing control and intervention groups. RESULTS: A low proportion of engagement in PA and a large engagement in SB was observed on the baseline. PA decreased in the intervention group during PE classes, while it increased in the control group with regard to school-time, PE classes, and recess. The intervention group accumulated more SB during school-time and PE classes after the intervention, while a decrease in the control group's SB during school-time was observed. CONCLUSION: The intervention was not effective in increasing PA or decreasing SB. Environmental and school's organizational factors impact how interventions are conducted, and should be considered beforehand.

INTRODUÇÃO: Este estudo objetivou avaliar o efeito de uma intervenção sobre o engajamento em atividade física (AF) e comportamento sedentário (CS) no período escolar, em aulas de educação física (EF) e nos recreios em estudantes do sexto ao nono ano de escolas públicas de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina. MÉTODOS: Duas escolas foram alocadas em grupo experimental e controle. Os participantes utilizaram acelerômetros no período escolar e o tempo em AF e CS foram estimados no período escolar, aulas de EF e recreios antes e após a intervenção. A intervenção foi composta de quatro componentes: mudanças nas aulas de EF, com formação dos professores; disponibilização de materiais esportivos no recreio; sessões educativas no formato de aulas; e distribuição de folders e cartazes com informações sobre os desfechos da intervenção. Foram empregadas análises de covariância para medidas repetidas comparando a linha de base e pós-intervenção e para amostras independentes, comparando o grupo controle com o grupo intervenção. RESULTADOS: Observou-se uma baixa proporção de AF na escola na linha de base e um elevado volume de CS. O grupo intervenção diminuiu a AF em aulas de EF, enquanto o grupo controle aumentou em todos os períodos. O grupo intervenção também acumulou mais o CS no período escolar e em aulas de EF após a intervenção, enquanto o controle diminuiu o CS no período escolar. CONCLUSÃO: A intervenção proposta não foi efetiva em aumentar a AF e diminuir o CS. Fatores ambientais e de organização escolar podem ter impactado os resultados e devem ser considerados no planejamento de intervenções.

Sociodemographic factors and lifestyle behaviours associated with bullying victimization and perpetration in a sample of Brazilian adolescents / Fatores sociodemográficos e comportamentos de estilo de vida associados à vitimização e perpetração do bullying em uma amostra de adolescentes brasileiros

Abstract This article aims to identify the association of sociodemographic factors and lifestyle behaviours with bullying perpetration and victimization among high school students. The adolescents (n=852) answered a questionnaire about bullying (victims and perpetrators), sociodemographic factors (sex, age, maternal education, and participant's work status), tobacco use, alcohol use, illicit drug experimentation, physical activity, screen time, and sleep duration. Multilevel logistic regression models were performed. Older adolescents were less likely to be victims of bullying. Females were less likely to be perpetrators or victims of bullying. Adolescents who were working were more likely to be involved in bullying in both forms. Participation in non-sport activities and alcohol consumption were associated with higher odds of bullying victimization. We have identified specific populational subgroups that are more susceptible to being victims and/or perpetrators of bullying, which could support tailor-specific interventions to prevent bullying.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é identificar a associação de fatores sociodemográficos e comportamentos de estilo de vida com a perpetração do bullying e da vitimização entre os alunos do ensino médio. Os adolescentes (n=852) responderam a um questionário sobre bullying (vítimas e perpetradores), fatores sociodemográficos (sexo, idade, educação materna e status profissional dos participantes), uso de tabaco, uso de álcool, experimentação de drogas ilícitas, atividade física, tempo de tela e duração do sono. Modelos de regressão logística multinível foram realizados. Os adolescentes mais velhos eram menos propensos a serem vítimas de bullying. As mulheres tinham menos probabilidade de serem perpetradoras ou vítimas de bullying. Os adolescentes que estavam trabalhando tinham maior probabilidade de estarem envolvidos em bullying em ambas as formas. A participação em atividades não esportivas e o consumo de álcool estavam associados a maiores probabilidades de vitimização por bullying. Identificamos subgrupos populacionais específicos que são mais suscetíveis a serem vítimas e/ou perpetradores de bullying, o que poderia apoiar intervenções específicas sob medida para evitar o bullying.

Effect of a Multicomponent Intervention on Lifestyle Factors among Brazilian Adolescents from Low Human Development Index Areas: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial.

Promoting healthy lifestyle factors (e.g., physical activity, healthy eating, less screen time) among young people is a relevant and challenging step toward reducing non-communicable diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a multicomponent intervention on lifestyle factors among adolescents from schools in low Human Development Index (HDI < 0.500) areas. The Fortaleça sua Saúde program was conducted with 548 adolescents aged 11⁻18 years old in the intervention group and 537 in the control group. The four-month intervention included strategies focused on training teachers, new opportunities for physical activity in the school environment, and health education strategies for the school community (including parents). Moderate- to-vigorous physical activity level (≥420 min/week), TV watching and computer use/gaming (<2 h/day), daily consumption of fruit juice, fruit, vegetables, soft drinks, savory foods and sweets, and current alcohol and tobacco use were measured before and after intervention. McNemar's test and logistic regression (odds ratio [OR] and a 95% confidence interval [95% CI]) were used, considering p < 0.05. In the intervention schools, a significant increase occurred in the number of adolescents who met physical activity guidelines (5.3%; 95% CI = 0.8; 9.8) and who reported using computer for <2 h a day (8.6%; 95% CI = 3.8; 13.4) after intervention. No changes were observed in the control schools. At the end of the intervention, adolescents from intervention schools were more likely to practice physical activity at recommended levels (OR = 1.44; 95% CI = 1.00; 2.08) than adolescents from control schools. No significant change was observed for the other lifestyle factors. In conclusion, this multicomponent intervention was effective in promoting physical activity among adolescents from vulnerable areas. However, other lifestyle factors showed no significant change after intervention. This study is registered at Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02439827.

Relationships of field-normalized and non-normalized scientometrics with the Physical Education Web-Qualis grades / Relações de métricas normalizadas e não normalizadas por área com a classificação do Web-Qualis na Educação Física

abstract This study aimed (1) to verify the relationship between the JIF, Eigenfactor, Citescore and SJR metrics of Physical Education journals throughout Qualis 2013-2016; and (2) to analyze their associations with the field-concerned Web-Qualis grades (based on the 2013-2016 quadrennium criteria). WebQualis grades, which refers to 2015-2018 data, were acquired by accessing officially available data. The scientometrics Journal Impact Factor (JIF), Citescore, Eigenfactor, and Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) for the years 2013 to 2016 and 2018 were extracted from official Clarivate Analytics and Elsevier sources. Approximately half of Physical Education journals included in the 2018 WebQualis database were indexed in Web of Science Collection and Scopus databases. The main results demonstrated high and stable appeared bivariate correlations between all scientometrics from 2013 to 2016. Both JIF, Eigenfactor, Citescore and SJR were associated with WebQualis grades. However, better adjustment of parameters was observed in the model that included SJR as the WebQualis predictor. The field normalized SJR appeared to better predict the WebQualis defined by the 2013-2016 Qualis criteria, which includes the adherence indicator. If researchers consider that distinct research areas are not equally weighted and require specific evaluation, as the authors suggest, use the normalized metrics to classify journals in Brazilian scenarium.

resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a relação entre as métricas JIF, Eigenfactor, Citescore e SJR de periódicos de Educação Física ao longo do Qualis 2013-2016; e (2) analisar suas associações com as classificações do Web-Qualis (critério de classificação do quadriênio 2013-2016). As classificações do WebQualis, referentes aos dados de 2015-2018, foram adquiridas acessando fontes de dados oficiais. As métricas Journal Impact Factor (JIF), Citescore, Eigenfactor e Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) para os anos de 2013 a 2016 e 2018 foram extraídas de fontes oficiais da Clarivate Analytics e Elsevier. Aproximadamente metade dos periódicos de Educação Física incluídos no banco de dados WebQualis de 2018 foram indexados nos bancos de dados Web of Science Collection e Scopus. Os principais resultados demonstram altas e estáveis correlações bivariadas entre todas as métricas ​​de 2013 a 2016. Ambos o JIF, o Eigenfactor, o Citigenore e o SJR foram associados à classificação do WebQualis. No entanto, melhores parâmetros de ajuste foram observados no modelo que incluiu a SJR como preditor do WebQualis. O SJR normalizado por área pareceu melhor predizer o WebQualis definido pelo critério Qualis de 2013 de 2016, que inclui o indicador de aderência. Se os pesquisadores considerarem que áreas distintas de pesquisa não são igualmente ponderadas e requerem avaliação específica, como sugestão dos autores, a utilização das métricas normalizadas para classificar os periódicos no cenário brasileiro.

Iniquidades socioeconômicas associadas aos diferentes domínios da atividade física: resultados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde 2019 / Inequidades socioeconómicas asociadas a diferentes dominios de la actividad física: resultados de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud 2019, Brasil / Socioeconomics inequities associated with different domains of physical activity: results of the National Health Survey 2019, Brazil

Objetivo: Analisar os indicadores sociodemográficos associados ao engajamento em atividade física (AF) nos domínios do lazer, do deslocamento, doméstico e do trabalho, em adultos brasileiros. Métodos: Estudo transversal com dados secundários da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS) de 2019. Os fatores associados ao engajamento em AF foram analisados por regressão logística. Resultados: O estudo envolveu 88.500 adultos brasileiros com idade média de 45 ± 17,5 anos. Jornadas de trabalho mais longas [odds ratio (OR) = 0,74; IC95% 0,66;0,82; > 40h vs. ≤ 20h)] e sexo feminino (OR = 0,67; IC95% 0,63;0,71) associaram-se a menores chances de engajamento em AF no lazer. Maior renda (OR = 3,20; IC95% 2,79;3,67; > 5 vs. ≤ salário mínimo) e escolaridade (OR = 3,01; IC95% 2,74;3,32 - superior completo vs. fundamental incompleto) foram positivamente associadas à AF no lazer. Conclusão: Determinantes socioeconômicos foram fortemente relacionados ao engajamento em AF, sugerindo um padrão de iniquidade marcado pela necessidade de sobrevivência, que se reproduz socialmente.

Objetivo: Analizar indicadores sociodemográficos asociados a realización de actividad física (AF) en dominios del ocio, desplazamientos, casa y trabajo, en adultos brasileños. Métodos: Estudio transversal con análisis secundario de datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud (PNS) de 2019. Factores asociados al compromiso en AF se analizaron mediante regresión logística. Resultados: Estudio involucró 88.500 adultos brasileños con edad promedio de 45 ± 17,5 años. Horas de trabajo más largas [odds ratio (OR) = 0,74; IC95% 0,66;0,82; > 40h vs. ≤ 20h], sexo femenino (OR = 0,67; IC95% 0,63;0,71) se asociaron con menores posibilidades de realizar AF en ocio. Mayor ingreso (OR = 3,20; IC95% 2,79;3,67; > 5 vs. ≤ salario mínimo) y nivel educacional (OR = 3,01; IC95% 2,74;3,32 - superior completo vs. fundamental incompleto) se asociaron positivamente con AF en ocio. Conclusión: determinantes económicos y sociales estuvieron fuertemente relacionados con la participación en AF, lo que sugieres un patrón de inequidad marcado por la necesidad de supervivencia, que se reproduce socialmente.

Objective: To examine the socioeconomic indicators associated with engagement in physical activity (PA) in the leisure-time, transportation, domestic and occupational domains, in Brazilian adults. Methods: Cross-sectional study with secondary data from the National Health Survey (PNS), conducted in 2019. The factors associated with engagement in PA were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: The study involved 88,500 Brazilian adults with mean age of 45 ± 17.5 years old. Longer working hours [odds ratio (OR) = 0.74; 95%CI 0.66;0.82; > 40h vs. ≥ 20h] and female sex (OR = 0.67; 95%CI 0.63;0.71) were associated with lower chances of engaging in leisure-time PA. Higher income (OR = 3.20; 95%CI 2.79;3.67; > 5 vs. ≥ minimum wage) and education level (OR = 3.01; 95%CI 2.74;3.32 - complete higher education vs. incomplete elementary school) were positively associated with leisure-time PA. Conclusion: Socioeconomic correlates were strongly related to engagement in PA in Brazilian adults, suggesting a pattern of inequity marked by the need for survival, which is socially reproduced.

Avaliação de programa de atividade física para escolares: desenvolvimento e validação de instrumento / Evaluation of physical activity program for students: development and validation of an instrument

Este estudo objetiva desenvolver e validar um instrumento para avaliar dimensões do planejamento e processo de implementação de um programa de intervenção voltado à promoção de atividade física em escolares. Foi conduzido um estudo metodológico realizado durante os meses de julho a dezembro de 2016, vinculado ao programa de intervenção intitulado de "Movimente". O estudo envolveu as fases teórica (construção do instrumento), empírica e analítica (validação de conteúdo por especialistas, com atribuição de pontuação para os itens e de semântica, por membros da comunidade escolar e alunos do 7º ao 9º ano). O instrumento é dividido em duas dimensões: planejamento e processo. Resultados mostram que a dimensão de planejamento foi composta por indicadores acerca da importância da discussão sobre temas de saúde no contexto escolar, interesse em participar do programa e de suas respectivas ações. A dimensão de processo englobou indicadores sobre conhecimento e avaliação do programa e de suas respectivas ações, bem como sobre o interesse em manter o mesmo. Todas as questões foram consideradas válidas (índices de validade acima de 0,90) e compreensíveis (escores acima de 0,82). Conclui-se que o instrumento apresentou qualidade satisfatória no que diz respeito a validade de conteúdo e semântica, sendo considerado apropriado para avaliação do Programa Movimente e programas e ou projetos similares

This study aims to develop and validate an instrument that evaluates dimensions of planning and im-plementation of an intervention program focused on physical activity promotion in schoolers. It was conducted a methodological study carried out during the months of July to December of 2016, part of the Movimente Program. The study included theoretical (instrument development), empirical and analytical phases (content validadion by specialists, with scores atribution to each item, and by par-ticipants with characteristics similar to those of the target population, including school community, and students from 7th to 9th grade school).

All questions were considered valid (validation scores greater then 0.90) and with a good semantic (scores greated than 0.82). In conclusion, the instrument showed a reasonable quality regarding semantic and content validity, being considered apropriate for evaluation of Movi-mente Program and similar programs of physical activitiy programs in schoolers

Active commuting among workers in the Southern of Brazil: a comparative analysis between 2006 and 2016 / Deslocamento ativo entre trabalhadores da região Sul do Brasil: uma análise comparativa entre 2006 e 2016

Abstract This article aims to compare the prevalence of active commuting to work in adults in the Southern region of Brazil between 2006 and 2016 according to sociodemographic and labor characteristics. The data from the Brazilian System for the Surveillance of Risk and Protection Factors for Chronic Diseases - VIGITEL were compared in 2006 and 2016 (≥18 years). Active commuting to work, sex, age group, education and job characteristics were collected by telephone survey and transportation in the cities of Florianópolis, Curitiba and Porto Alegre, using absolute and relative frequencies with their respective 95% confidence intervals. Active commuting increased significantly in 2016 compared to 2006. Florianópolis had the highest prevalence in the two years analyzed. In all capitals, there was a significant increase in the prevalence of the outcome, mainly for women, with secondary education and only in Florianópolis for men, with low schooling. The prevalence has also increased for job characteristics in all capitals. Active commuting to work increased significantly among adults living in southern Brazil, with emphasis on Florianópolis. Expanding interventions in this context is a necessity in Brazil.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é comparar a prevalência de deslocamento ativo para o trabalho em adultos na região Sul do Brasil entre 2006 e 2016 de acordo com características sociodemográficas e laborais. Os dados do Sistema Brasileiro de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas (VIGITEL) foram comparados em 2006 e 2016 (≥18 anos). Deslocamento ativo para o trabalho, sexo, faixa etária, escolaridade e características laborais foram coletados por inquérito telefônico e analisados nas cidades de Florianópolis, Curitiba e Porto Alegre, utilizando as frequências absolutas e relativas com seus respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95%. O deslocamento ativo aumentou significativamente em 2016 em relação a 2006. Florianópolis apresentou as maiores prevalências nos dois anos analisados. Em todas as capitais houve aumento significativo na prevalência do desfecho, principalmente para mulheres, com ensino médio e apenas em Florianópolis para homens, com baixa escolaridade. A prevalência também aumentou para características laborais em todas as capitais. O deslocamento ativo para o trabalho aumentou expressamente entre os adultos que vivem no Sul do Brasil, com destaque para Florianópolis. Ampliar intervenções nesse contexto é uma necessidade no Brasil.
