Abstract:

This study analyses the behaviors related to the lifestyle of adolescent in Recife, Brazil. It was conducted a cross-sectional study with datathe Cardiovascular Risk Study in Adolescents (ERICA). 2400 students aged 12 to 17 were interviewed. The prevalence of physical activity, eating behavior, smoking and alcohol consumption were analyzed. The Chi-square test and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were used to evaluate the statistical significance of the measures. We found that 60% of the adolescents presented inadequate eating behaviors regarding the consumption of breakfast, water per day and meals in front of the TV. About 40% (95% CI:39.7-45) did not have meals with their parents or guardians. The prevalence of physical inactivity was 52.4% (95% CI:50-55). Female adolescents were more insufficiently active (68.7%, 95% CI: 65-72) than males (36.4%, 95% CI:33-40). Teenagers of economic classes D and E were the most inactive (60.7%, 95% CI:46-73). Alcohol consumption was 18.7% (95% CI: 2.6-5.6) and smoking was prevalent in 3.8% (95% CI:2-6) of the individuals. Inadequate eating behaviors and physical inactivity were the main domains responsible for an unhealthy lifestyle, followed by alcohol consumption and smoking.
