“…51 The low grades in most countries are consistent with earlier reports. 7,15,70 Grades were generally higher in low-middle income countries (LMIC; Brazil, 26 India, 37 Kenya, 40 Mexico, 42 Mozambique, 43 Nigeria, 46 South Africa, 52 Zimbabwe 61 ), but this relationship was not uniform as Slovenia 51 and New Zealand 45 also reported high grades and no significant correlation between HDI and overall behavior grades was observed (Table 5).…”

The Active Healthy Kids Global Alliance organized the concurrent preparation of Report Cards on the physical activity of children and youth in 38 countries from 6 continents (representing 60% of the world’s population). Nine common indicators were used (Overall Physical Activity, Organized Sport Participation, Active Play, Active Transportation, Sedentary Behavior, Family and Peers, School, Community and the Built Environment, and Government Strategies and Investments), and all Report Cards were generated through a harmonized development process and a standardized grading framework (from A = excellent, to F = failing). The 38 Report Cards were presented at the International Congress on Physical Activity and Public Health in Bangkok, Thailand on November 16, 2016. The consolidated findings are summarized in the form of a Global Matrix demonstrating substantial variation in grades both within and across countries. Countries that lead in certain indicators often lag in others. Average grades for both Overall Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior around the world are D (low/poor). In contrast, the average grade for indicators related to supports for physical activity was C. Lower-income countries generally had better grades on Overall Physical Activity, Active Transportation, and Sedentary Behaviors compared with higher-income countries, yet worse grades for supports from Family and Peers, Community and the Built Environment, and Government Strategies and Investments. Average grades for all indicators combined were highest (best) in Denmark, Slovenia, and the Netherlands. Many surveillance and research gaps were apparent, especially for the Active Play and Family and Peers indicators. International cooperation and cross-fertilization is encouraged to address existing challenges, understand underlying determinants, conceive innovative solutions, and mitigate the global childhood inactivity crisis. The paradox of higher physical activity and lower sedentary behavior in countries reporting poorer infrastructure, and lower physical activity and higher sedentary behavior in countries reporting better infrastructure, suggests that autonomy to play, travel, or chore requirements and/or fewer attractive sedentary pursuits, rather than infrastructure and structured activities, may facilitate higher levels of physical activity.

“…1 Nonetheless, data from Brazil's 2016 Report Card revealed that only 40% of children and youth (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) years old) met the recommendations for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). 2 This data also showed unfavorable grades for other behaviors (e.g., sedentary behavior and active transportation). This paper aims to summarize the results of Brazil's 2018 Report Card.…”

“…One fact that may explain the high risk of exposure of the Brazilian population to physical inactivity and, consequently, the high number of deaths due to ischemic heart disease in adulthood is the high number of children and adolescents in Brazil who do not meet recommendations for physical activity. A survey monitoring physical activity in Brazilian youth found that almost 60.0% of individuals did not meet physical activity recommendations 26 . Therefore, the findings of this study may suggest that the promotion of physical activity should begin with younger age groups, especially for the prevention of NCD.…”

OBJECTIVE To analyze if the burden of ischemic heart disease mortality trend attributed to physical inactivity in Brazil differs from the global estimates.METHODS Databases from the Global Burden of Disease Study for Brazil, Brazilian states, and global information were used. We estimated the summary exposure value for physical inactivity, the total number of deaths, and the age-standardized death rates for ischemic heart disease attributed to physical inactivity in the years 1990 and 2015, and the population-attributable fraction. Data were presented according to sex.RESULTS The Brazilian population was found to have a risk of exposure to physical inactivity varying between 70.4% for men and 75.7% for women in the year of 1990. This risk of exposure was similar in 2015. In men, the mortality rate from ischemic heart disease attributed to physical inactivity decreased in 2015 by approximately 24% around the world and 45% in Brazil. For women, this decrease was in 31% around the world and 45% in Brazil. The states of Southern and Southeastern Brazil presented lower mortality rates due to ischemic heart disease attributed to physical inactivity. If physical inactivity were eliminated in Brazil, mortality from ischemic heart disease would be reduced by 15.8% for men and 15.2% for women.CONCLUSIONS Over 25 years, the risk of exposure to physical inactivity in Brazil did not change and was high compared to global estimates. The decrease in ischemic heart disease mortality results from the improvement of health services in Brazil and the control of other risk factors. Approximately 15% of deaths from ischemic heart disease in Brazil could be avoided if people met the recommendations for physical activity.
