Resumo:
INTRODUÇÃO: A prática regular da caminhada contribui para melhor qualidade de vida, reduzindo riscos para doenças cardiovasculares. OBJETIVO: Verificar a associação entre fatores sociodemográficos e de saúde relacionados à prática de caminhada de adultos no contexto rural brasileiro. METODOLOGIA: Estudo transversal com 567 adultos. A variável desfecho foi a prática regular de caminhada (? 150 minutos/semana) e as de exposição foram as sociodemográficas, antropométricas, clinico laboratoriais e autopercepção de saúde. As análises foram realizadas pelo teste do qui-quadrado e regressão de Poisson, considerando p ? 0,05. RESULTADOS: Apenas 34,7% da população pratica a caminhada de forma regular. O sexo feminino (RP 0,84; IC95% 0,78–0,89), a idade entre 31-45 anos (RP 1,11; IC95% 1,02–1,22 para comparação entre pessoas de 18-30 anos) e a autopercepção de saúde ruim/regular (RP 0,90; IC95% 0,84–0,97 para a comparação entre pessoas com autopercepção excelente/boa) permaneceram independentemente associadas à prática regular de caminhada. CONCLUSÃO: A idade entre 31-45 anos e o sexo masculino foram positivamente associados à caminhada e a percepção de saúde regular/ruim apresentou associação negativa. Esses achados podem sugerir que as políticas públicas de incentivo a atividade física nas áreas urbanas podem ser aplicadas também a áreas rurais.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION: The regular practice of walking can contribute to a better quality of life, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between sociodemographic and health factors related to adult practice of walking in the Brazilian rural context. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of 567 adults. The outcome variable was the regular practice of walking (≥150 minutes per week) and the explanatory variables were sociodemographic factors, anthropometric measures, laboratory tests and self-perceived health. The chi-square test and Poisson regression were used in analysis, considering p ≤ 0.05. RESULTS: Only 34.7% of the population practices walking regularly. Women (PR 0.84, 95% CI 0.78-0.89), age of 31-45 years (OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.02-1.22, comparing to 18-30 years), and self-perception of poor/fair health (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.84-0.97 comparing to people with great/good health) remained independently associated with regular practice of walking. CONCLUSION: Age between 31 and 45 years and males were positively associated with walking and the perception of poor/fair health had negative association. These findings may suggest that public policies to encourage physical activity in urban areas can also be applied to rural areas.
