“…The limitations imposed by age and the burden of disease may be one of the factors that explain the lower prevalence of physical activity during leisure time among these groups. Moreover, older individuals are less likely to perceive regular physical activity as an important factor for health, compared with younger people 11,12 . It should be noted that environmental aspects can also interact with age in relation to physical activity during leisure time.…”

ABSTRACT:Objective: To analyze the regional differences and factors associated with physical activity during the leisure time in the adult participants of the National Health Survey, 2013. Methods: This study was carried out with the data from the National Health Survey, conducted in 2013 with an approximate sample of 63,000 adults (18+ years). For each of the five regions of Brazil, the prevalence of physically active adults during the leisure time was calculated, and the participants were classified as active if they practiced at least 150 minutes per week of physical activity during leisure time. Results: The prevalence of individuals who were active during the leisure time varied from 21.9% in the south to 24.4% in the midwest. The men were 1.48 (95%CI 1.40-1.57) times more active than women, with the northern region showing the highest difference between the sexes. The prevalence of active individuals was 67% lower among those aged 75+ years when compared with the 18-24 age group, and this difference was more marked in the north. Those with higher levels of education were on average three times more active than the participants with lower education levels. In terms of education level, the lowest difference was observed in the northeast. Conclusion: Despite the slight variations in the prevalence of physical activity during the leisure time among the regions, when population subgroups are considered, important differences were observed. These results suggest the need for promotion initiatives on physical activity with different approaches in each of the five regions of Brazil.
