Resumen
The practice of physical activity is pointed by literature as an important element for the
promotion of health and quality of life of the population. Scientific evidence has shown the
benefits of physical activity and how its practice is important for the prevention of chronic
diseases. However, physical inactivity is still high, being one of the leading causes of death risk
worldwide and it is the main factor which predisposes to chronic non-communicable diseases,
such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes. Sedentary behavior is also considered a
risk factor for chronic non-communicable disease independent of the practice of physical
activity. According to the World Health Organization, 38 million people die annually from
chronic non-communicable diseases. One of the greatest challenges for public health is to
encourage the population to be more physically active, make these individuals aware that there
are other domains of physical activity, not only at leisure, but also in commuting, occupational
and household chores. Brazil is one of the few developing countries which presents national
data about risk factors and protection for chronic diseases, such as physical activity in all
domains and sedentary behavior. Monitoring these factors is essential for planning health
policies in order to achieve the best decision-making. In light of this context, this study aimed
to analyze the trend of physical activity and sedentary behavior in Brazil from 2006 to 2016.
Secondary data from the Risk and Protective Factors Surveillance for Chronic NonCommunicable Diseases through Telephone Interview (VIGITEL) project were used from 2006
to 2016 in all capitals of the 26 Brazilian states and in the Federal District. The variables used
were: active during their leisure time (150 minutes of moderate intensity or 75 minutes of
vigorous intensity), active in commuting (≥ 30 minutes per day on foot or by bicycle to/from
work or school), occupational physical activity, household chores and sedentary behavior
(watch television for three or more hours). The data were analyzed by the statistic package
STATA version 13 and Prais-Winsten model was used for the trend analysis. All estimates with
p value <0.05 showed an increase in the trend when the annual trend (APC) was positive and
decrease in trend when the annual change (APC) was negative, estimates with p value >0.05,
the series was considered stationary. The overall results presented growing trend for physical
activity at leisure, since the other domains (commuting, occupational and household chores)
were stationary. The general sedentary behavior also pointed to stationary trend, however when
associated with the variable civil status widowed, there was a growing trend with an annual
change of 1.7% (p = 0.025). This study shows the need of implementing effective public
policies and investing in health programs stimulating people to be active. The most important
goal for public health related to physical activity is to increase this practice for those that
currently do not do any physical activity and make the population aware that sedentary behavior
causes deleterious health effects regardless of physical activity.
