“…The indicator that obtained the best performance in the reliability between the interviews was the PA during leisure time. This is an important finding, since this is the most important domain of practice for the prevention of NCDs and reduction of mortality in general [16][17][18] . Similar results were found in other studies 5,10,19 .…”

Introduction: Physical activity in Brazil is assessed by the Telephone-based Risk Factor Surveillance System for Chronic Diseases (VIGITEL). Objectives: To evaluate the reliability and concurrent validity of VIGITEL physical activity indicators. Methods: For the reliability study, 305 individuals responded to VIGITEL interviews, which were repeated with intervals of 7 -15 days, in Belo Horizonte, 2013. The evaluated indicators included "sufficiently active on leisure time," "active in transportation," "inactive in four domains of physical activity (leisure, work, transportation, and housework)," and "watching TV for long periods." Kappa coefficient (k) was used to measure agreement between both interviews. For concurrent validity assessment, the same subjects also responded to the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), used as reference method for comparison of VIGITEL indicators. Comparison was assessed by measures of sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV), and negative predictive values (NPV). Results: Reliability study showed substantial agreement for active individuals in leisure time (k = 0.70) and inactive individuals (k = 0.64). The agreement of watching TV for long periods was moderate (k = 0.56) and the activeness in transportation showed fair agreement (k = 0.35). In comparison to the reference method, sensitivity ranged from 54.8 to 67.7 in frequency of inactive, active in leisure time and work. Transportation domain was represented by 11.9 of sensitivity. Specificity ranged from 72.0 to 91.2 among four domains of physical activity and inactive. Conclusion: Physical activity questionnaire used by the surveillance system seems to be reliable in all domains, except in transportation questions. VIGITEL was considered comparable to GPAQ in most aspects of physical activity evaluation.

“…For the individual as well as the society preventive factors for ADL-disability is at interest. Physical activity has been showed to be a protective factor for many health problems [ 16 – 18 ], and to be associated with less ADL-disability in old age [ 19 – 21 ]. A study from Italy using data from a population-based study in 1998–2003 of persons 65 years and older found at follow-up after 3-years that a higher level of physical activity was a protective factor for development of ADL-disability [ 19 ].…”

Incidence of ADL Disability in Older Persons, Physical Activities as a Protective Factor and the Need for Informal and Formal Care – Results from the SNAC-N Project

et al. 2015

BackgroundThe aim of the study was to examine 1) the incidence of disability in Activities of Daily Living (ADL), in persons 78 years and older 2) explore whether being physical active earlier is a significant predictor of being disability free at follow-up and 3) describe the amount of informal and formal care in relation to ADL-disability.MethodsData were used from a longitudinal community-based study in Nordanstig (SNAC-N), a part of the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care (SNAC). To study objectives 1) and 2) all ADL-independent participants at baseline (N = 307) were included; for objective 3) all participants 78 years and older were included (N = 316). Data were collected at baseline and at 3- and 6-year follow-ups. ADL-disability was defined as a need for assistance in one or more activities. Informal and formal care were measured using the Resource utilization in Dementia (RUD)-instrument.ResultsThe incidence rates for men were similar in the age groups 78-81and 84 years and older, 42.3 vs. 42.5/1000 person-years. For women the incidence rate for ADL-disability increased significantly from the age group 78–81 to the age group 84 years and older, 20.8 vs.118.3/1000 person-years. In the age group 78–81 years, being physically active earlier (aOR 6.2) and during the past 12 month (aOR 2.9) were both significant preventive factors for ADL-disability. Both informal and formal care increased with ADL-disability and the amount of informal care was greater than formal care. The incidence rate for ADL-disability increases with age for women and being physically active is a protective factor for ADL-disability.ConclusionThe incidence rate for ADL-disability increases with age for women, and being physical active is a protective factor for ADL-disability.

“…A recent study using data from VIGITEL, Brazil's 2008 national surveillance system for risk and protective factors for chronic diseases, found that LTPA may be protective against hypertension in Brazilian men. 37 However, no association was found between LTPA and hypertension for women in the same study. The authors suggested a possible explanation that women tended to report a lower level of LTPA and total amount of energy expenditure than men.…”

“…Results from the current study are also in line with those comprehensive findings from Brazil and the US population despite many significant differences in health systems, lifestyles, and socioeconomic factors between Brazil and the United States.

BackgroundAlthough increasing effort has been devoted to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle such as leisure time physical activity for cardio‐metabolic health, specific evidence supporting health policy remains sparse, particularly in those ethnically diverse populations where cardio‐metabolic diseases are reaching epidemic proportion and yet are grossly understudied.Methods and ResultsWe conducted a cross‐sectional analysis of the baseline data from 10 585 participants aged 35 to 74 free of cardiovascular diseases in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health. Leisure time physical activity status was defined by the American Heart Association and the World Health Organization recommendations (≥150 min/week moderate activities or 75 min/week vigorous activities). In total, 1183 (21%) women and 1387 (29%) men were active. After accounting for covariates, the favorable effects of leisure time physical activity on cardio‐metabolic parameters were evident. Specifically, the average blood pressure, heart rate, and Framingham Risk Score for cardiovascular diseases of the active were significantly lower within each sex. The ORs comparing the active versus the inactive women were 0.78 (95% CI: 0.66–0.92) for hypertension and 0.78 (95% CI: 0.65–0.93) for cardiovascular diseases in 10 years. Among men, the ORs were 0.75 (95% CI: 0.65–0.87) for hypertension and 0.73 (95% CI: 0.61–0.87) for diabetes. The 10‐year risk of cardiovascular diseases was significantly lower among the active men with a 33% reduction (OR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.57–0.78).ConclusionsWe observed beneficial effects of leisure time physical activity on cardio‐metabolic health in this large Brazilian population that are consistent with studies in North America and Europe.
