1988/2013 - Inatividade física em idosos não institucionalizados: Estudo de base populacional. Physical inactivity among non-institutionalized elderly individuals: A population-based study.
Objetivo – Descrever a prevalência de inatividade física e analisar os fatores sociodemográficos, de estilo de vida e condições de saúde associados em idosos do Nordeste brasileiro. Métodos - Estudo descritivo e de associação, baseado em dados secundários originados de uma pesquisa epidemiológica de base populacional envolvendo 316 idosos. O nível de atividade física foi avaliado por meio do International Physical Activity Questionnaire. As variáveis explanatórias foram: sexo, grupo etário, arranjo familiar, sabe ler e escrever, trabalho remunerado ou voluntário, tabagismo, sintomatologia depressiva, pressão arterial elevada, hiperglicemia em jejum e capacidade funcional. Resultados - A prevalência da inatividade física foi de 46,5. Os resultados da análise múltipla indicaram que a inatividade física foi positivamente associada ao grupo etário ≥ 80 anos (RP = 2,37), a falta de ocupação (RP = 4,86) e a dependência nas atividades instrumentais de vida diária (RP = 1,47) e nas atividades básicas de vida diária (RP = 1,60). Conclusão - A inatividade física foi altamente prevalente na população estudada, tornando-se imprescindível a discussão de programas que incentivem e possibilite maior adesão à prática da atividade física, tendo em vista o combate a inatividade física e os fatores de risco decorrentes deste comportamento.

Abstract:
Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of physical inactivity among the elderly in Northeast Brazil and analyze the associated lifestyle factors, socio-demographic factors and health conditions. Methods: The work presented here is a descriptive association study based on secondary data deriveda population-based epidemiological study that included 316 elderly participants. The physical activity level of each participant was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The explanatory variables examined in this study were gender, age group, family arrangement, ability to read and write, paid or voluntary employment, smoking, symptoms of depression, high blood pressure, fasting hyperglycemia and functional capacity. Results: The prevalence of physical inactivity was 46.5. The results of the multivariate analysis indicated that physical inactivity was positively associated with the age group ≥ 80 years (PR = 2.37), with the lack of an occupation (PR = 4.86) and with dependence in instrumental activities of daily life (PR = 1.47) and basic activities of daily life (PR = 1.60). Conclusion: Physical inactivity was highly prevalent in the surveyed population, making it essential to discuss programs that encourage and enable increased physical activity to combat a sedentary lifestyle.
