“…We considered students who participated in ≥60 minutes daily to be active [26]. The use of substances (cigarettes, alcohol, and illicit drugs) was considered relevant for students who reported having consumed them in the last 30 days [2,27]. We also evaluated the number of doses of alcohol consumed on any occasion.…”

High School Students Residing in Educational Public Institutions: Health-Risk Behaviors

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although several health-risk behaviors of adolescents have been described in the literature, data of high school students who reside at educational institutions in developing countries are scarce. This study aimed to describe behaviors associated with health risks among high school students who reside at an educational public institution and to associate these variables with the length of stay at the institution. This cross-sectional study was conducted during the year 2015 and included 122 students aged 14–19 years at a federal educational institution in the Midwest of Brazil; students were divided into residents of <8 months and those of >20 months. Information concerning the family socioeconomic status and anthropometric, dietary and behavioral profiles was investigated. Despite being physically active, students exhibited risk-associated behaviors such as cigarette and alcohol use and risky sexual behaviors that were exacerbated by fragile socioeconomic conditions and distance from family. A longer time in residence at the institution was associated with an older age (p ≤ 0.001), adequate body mass index (BMI; p = 0.02), nutritional knowledge (p = 0.01), and less doses of alcohol consumption (p ≤ 0.01) compared with those with shorter times in residence. In conclusion, the students exhibited different health-risk behaviors, and a longer institutional residence time, compared with a shorter time, was found to associate with the reduction of health-risk behaviors.

“…Inconsistency rates were higher for the most common behaviors: alcohol ( To analyze how these inconsistency rates may have affected the prevalence estimates of risk behavior which have been published previously on the basis of only the "have you ever" questions 6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,16 , we calculated the percentage of inconsistent responders in relation to "yes" or "no" responses to those "have you ever" questions. In both 2009 and 2012, there was a higher percentage of self-contradiction among the participants who said yes than among those who said no, except for alcohol experimentation.…”

“…Second, we calculated the prevalence of alcohol, drug and cigarette use, and sexual activity, after cleaning the data of all the cases with inconsistent responses on these domains, and then compared the results with the prevalences reported in previous studies based on the data from the 2009 4,9,13,14,15 and 2012 6,8,10,12,16 editions of the PeNSE survey.…”

“…In the past two decades, as concern about youth health in Brazil has risen, so has the reliance on this survey's data for identifying risks and temporal trends, and for making policy decisions, especially by epidemiologists interested in identifying the prevalence of health risk behaviors and their associated factors 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 . There is a growing body of evidence about the validity of such self-reported survey data, indicating that (especially for surveys with young samples) estimates of the prevalence of various activities can sometimes be dramatically over, or underestimated 17,18 .…”

Inconsistent reports of risk behavior among Brazilian middle school students: National School Based Survey of Adolescent Health (PeNSE 2009/2012)

This study assessed the consistency of self-reports of risk behavior (overall and within four specific domains: alcohol use, tobacco use, drug use, and sexual activity) in two editions of the Brazilian National School Based Survey of Adolescent Health (PeNSE): 2009 and 2012. The overall proportion of cases with at least one inconsistent response in the two editions was 11.7% (2.7% on the alcohol items, 2.1% for drug use, 4.3% for cigarette use, 3% for sexual activity) and 22.7% (12.8% on alcohol items, 2.5% for drug use, 4.3% for cigarette use, 4.1% for sexual activity), respectively. Such inconsistency was more prevalent among males, delayed students, those who reported having experimented with drugs, and those who did not have a cellphone. Because inconsistent responses were more prevalent among the students who claimed to have engaged in risky activities, removing inconsistent responders affected the estimated prevalence of all risk behaviors in both editions of the survey. This study supports the importance of performing consistency checks of self-report surveys, following the growing body of literature on this topic.

ResumenIntroducción/objetivo: la participación simultánea en los comportamientos de riesgo para las enfermedades no transmisibles (ENT) podría ejercer un efecto sinérgico sobre la salud de los adolescentes. El propósito del estudio fue identifi car patrones de comportamiento de riesgo para las ENT en adolescentes y analizar factores asociados. Métodos: se realizó un estudio transversal entre 2009-2011, con 1.716 participantes de entre 10 y 17 años, de un estudio de cohorte en la Región Centro-Oeste, Brasil. Se recogieron las características demográfi cas, económicas, antropométricas y de estilo de vida. Los comportamientos de riesgo evaluados fueron el consumo de alcohol, la experimentación con el tabaco, la actividad física insufi ciente, el comportamiento sedentario, omitir el desayuno y la baja calidad de la dieta. El análisis de componentes principales se utilizó para identifi car patrones de comportamientos de riesgo y el análisis de regresión lineal múltiple para cuantifi car la asociación entre las variables independientes y los patrones de comportamiento de riesgo. Resultados: Se identifi caron tres patrones de comportamientos de riesgo: "drogas legales", "dieta y pantallas" y "omisión". Después del ajuste, el patrón de drogas legales mostró asociación directa con la edad (β = 0,13; IC del 95% = 0,09; 0,16) e inverso con la educación materna (β = -0,07; IC del 95% = -0,14; -0,01). El patrón de dieta y pantallas se asoció directamente con el sexo femenino (β = 0,14; IC del 95% = 0,04; 0,23), la edad (β = 0,11; IC del 95% = 0,08; 0,14) y la clase económica (β = 0,15; IC del 95% = 0,04; 0,25). El patrón de omisión se relacionó directamente con la educación materna (β = 0,09; IC del 95% = 0,03; 0,15), el sobrepeso (β = 0,17; IC del 95% = 0,06; 0,28) y el sexo femenino (β = 0,32; IC del 95% = 0,22; 0,41). Conclusiones: se identifi caron tres patrones de comportamiento de riesgo y los factores asociados fueron el nivel socioeconómico, la edad y el sexo femenino. AbstractBackground/objective: Simultaneous engagement in risk behaviors for chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) might exert a synergistic effect on adolescent health. This study aimed to identify risk behavior patterns for NCDs in adolescents and analyze associated factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted between 2009 and 2011, with 1,716 participants aged 10-17 years of a cohort study in Central-West Region, Brazil. Demographic, economic, anthropometric, and lifestyle characteristics were collected. Risk behaviors evaluated were alcohol consumption, tobacco experimentation, insuffi cient physical activity, sedentary behavior, skipping breakfast, and low diet quality. Principal component analysis was used to identify patterns of risk behaviors and multiple linear regression analysis to quantify the association between independent variables and patterns of risk behavior. Results: Three patterns of risk behaviors were identifi ed: "legal drugs", "diet and screens", and "silent". After adjustment, legal drugs pattern showed direct associatio...

Experimentation and use of cigarette and other tobacco products among adolescents in the Brazilian state capitals (PeNSE 2012)

Abstract: Results reinforce the association between social disadvantages and experimenting and regular smoking. In addition, the use of other tobacco products is worthy of attention and may lead to regular smoking.
