Abstract:

The study aimed to map physical activity (PA)-related measures and indicators that are considered in the surveillance, monitoring and evaluation of Primary Health Care (PHC/SUS). This scoping review was conducted in January 2024 in electronic portals, searching for government materials that aimed at these strategies of the PHC/SUS with PA indicators. The ion and extraction process were performed in pairs, and a thematic synthesis was used. Of the 239 potentially eligible documents, 95 were included on surveillance (n=39), plans/policies (n=7), monitoring/evaluation of users (n=34) and services (n =15). A total of 69 measures and 38 different indicators were addressed in health surveillance. The monitoring/evaluation of services includes general- and specific PA programs (17 and 13 indicators, respectively). User monitoring/evaluation included indicators aimed at peopledifferent groups (e.g., people with chronic diseases) and their application, primarily in initial examinations and therapeutic planning. This study reinforces a call for government actions aiming to qualify the acquisition and implementation of PA-related health information; this may be one the main pathways of strengthening PA promotion on the SUS agenda.
