“…Uma proporção relativamente elevada de adolescentes referiu consumir bebidas alcoólicas pelo menos uma vez por semana (23%), reforçando achados prévios de estudos nacionais 17,24 e internacionais 12,21 , que também encontraram prevalências superiores a 20%. A percepção de que a bebida alcoólica não é droga parece contribuir para o estímulo ao uso na adolescência.…”

“…Do ponto de vista de saúde pública, um resultado importante encontrado neste estudo foi a baixa proporção de adolescentes que fumavam (3,5%). Apesar de alguns estudos ainda relatarem prevalências elevadas de tabagismo 9,17 , a maioria tem sido inferior a 9% 10,21,24 . Não se pode descartar um possível impacto das campanhas e ações normativas antitabagismo desenvolvidas nas últimas décadas.…”

“…Como observado neste estudo, outras investigações relataram maiores prevalên-cias de pressão arterial elevada 7,10,23 , etilismo 12,17,24 e excesso de peso 12,25 nos rapazes, e de níveis insuficientes de atividade física nas moças 7,9 , muito embora prevalências similares de pressão arterial elevada 12 , excesso de peso 10 e níveis insuficientes de atividade física 10 tenham sido relatadas em ambos os sexos.…”

ResumoObjetivos: Determinar a prevalência de fatores de risco cardiovascular (individual e co-ocorrência); e investigar a relação entre esses fatores e indicadores sociodemográ-ficos em adolescentes. Métodos: A amostra, selecionada por conglomerados em dois estágios (escolas, turmas), foi constituída de 782 adolescentes (14-17 anos de idade, 54,9% do sexo feminino) do ensino médio no município de João Pessoa -PB, Brasil. As variáveis independentes foram sexo, idade e condição econômica. Os desfechos investigados foram: níveis insuficientes de atividade física, hábitos alimentares inadequados, pressão arterial elevada, etilismo, excesso de peso corporal e tabagismo. Resultados: Níveis insuficientes de atividade física (59,5%) e hábitos alimentares inadequados (49,5%) foram os fatores de risco cardiovascular mais prevalentes. Pressão arterial elevada, etilismo e excesso de peso foram mais prevalentes no sexo masculino, e níveis insuficientes de atividade física no sexo feminino. Cerca de 10% dos adolescentes não apresentaram nenhum fator de risco, e 51,4% apresentaram dois ou mais fatores de forma simultânea. Os adolescentes do sexo masculino (OR = 1,89; 1,35 -2,65) e aqueles que pertenciam aos estratos econômicos mais pobres tiveram maiores chances de apresentar um ou mais fatores de risco biológicos (OR = 1,69; IC95% = 1,16 -2,47). Conclusão: A prevalência de fatores de risco cardiovascular foi elevada, com destaque para a exposição simultânea a múltiplos fatores de risco. Os adolescentes do sexo masculino e os mais pobres foram os subgrupos com maior exposição a fatores de risco biológicos de forma simultânea.Palavras-chave: Adolescente. Fator de risco cardiovascular. Fatores socioeconômicos. Prevalência. Sobrepeso. Atividade física.

“…Although non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) manifest more frequently in adulthood, the identification of health risk behaviors has been widely documented in literature, focusing on young individuals 8. Inappropriate eating habits, smoking, alcohol consumption, insufficient levels of physical activity, obesity and excessive time in sedentary leisure activities are some of the most common behaviors during adolescence 9.…”

Objective:To determine the prevalence of consumption of fruits and vegetables and identify the association with low level of physical activity, exposure to sedentary behavior, consumption of soft drinks and overweight/obesity in adolescents.Methods:This is a cross-sectional school-based study with a representative sample of 3992 students aged 14–19 years from the state of Sergipe, Brazil. The outcome was low consumption of fruits and vegetables (<5servings/day). Independent variables were: level of physical activity, sedentary behavior, consumption of soft drinks, and overweight/obesity. Global Student Health Survey questionnaire and body mass and height measurements were used, as well as chi-square test and crude and adjusted binary logistic regression. The significance level adopted was 5%.Results:The prevalence of inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables was high – 88.6% (95%CI=87.6–89.5). Higher likelihood of low consumption of fruits and vegetables was verified among boys who were exposed to sedentary behavior (OR=1.63; 95%CI=1.18–2.24), who consumed soft drinks (OR=3.04; 95%CI=2.10–4.40), with insufficiently physical activity (OR=1.98; 95%CI=1.43–2.73) and girls who consumed soft drinks (OR=1.88; 95%CI=1.43–2.47) and those with overweight/obesity (OR=1.63; 95%CI=1.19–2.23).Conclusions:There is a need of public policies aimed at encouraging the consumption of healthy foods among adolescents.

“…9,18,22,25 The multidimensionality of such factors shows the complexity of aspects that can infl uence this behavior. 17 Some Brazilian studies have analyzed the association between PA and demographic-biological (age, 1,5,8 gender 5,8,11,14 and skin color 10 ) and socioeconomic factors (income, 8 economic class 1,5,10,11 and parents' level of education 1 ). However, there is a lack of studies that analyze the association with sociocultural variables, such as the social support and perception of barriers for the practice of PA.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of physical activity in adolescents and to identify associated factors. METHODS:A cross-sectional study was conducted with a representative sample (n=1,518, 59.2% females) of students aged between 14 and 18 years, enrolled in the public school network of the city of Curitiba, Southern Brazil, in 2006. Physical activity practice was self-reported, according to the number of days per week when they perform moderate to vigorous physical activity lasting ≥ 60 minutes. This practice was analyzed in two distinct models. In the fi rst model, the variable was dichotomized into "0 day" and "≥ 1 day"; in the second, into "≤ 4 days" and "≥ 5 days". Independent variables were as follows: biological-demographic (sex, age, body mass index); socioeconomic (parents' level of education, number of cars); behavioral (number of hours spent watching television, number of hours spent using a computer); and sociocultural (social support from family and friends and the perception of barriers to the practice of activities), tested with Poisson regression. RESULTS:In the fi rst model of analysis, the prevalence of physical activity was 58.2% (75.1% in males; 46.5% in females; p<0.001), while, in the second, it was 14.5% (22.3% and 9.1%, respectively; p<0.001). In the fi rst model, the variables associated with physical activity were: male sex (PR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.48;1.78), social support from family (PR=1.14, 95% CI: 1.05;1.23), social support from friends (PR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.31;1.78) and high perception of barriers (PR=0.54, 95% CI: 0.46;0.62). In the second model, only male sex (PR=2.45, 95% CI: 1.73;3.46) and high perception of barriers (PR=0.24, 95% CI: 0.15;0.38) were associated with physical activity. CONCLUSIONS:More than half of adolescents practice physical activity at least one day of the week, although 14.5% achieved the current recommendations. The recommended levels are associated with a lower number of factors. Gender and perception of barriers were consistently associated with physical activity levels.
