0273/2015 - Prática de atividade física entre jovens em município do semiárido no Brasil. Practice of physical activity among youththe semiarid region of Brazil.
O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a prevalência de atividade física em jovens e analisar sua associação com características demográficas, socioeconômicas e comportamentais. Foram estudados todos os jovens com idade entre 13 e 19 anos residentes no município de Caracol, Piauí, em 2011, totalizando 1.112 indivíduos. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de entrevistas domiciliares, utilizando questionário padronizado. A variável dependente foi a prática de atividade física em uma semana habitual. Foram considerados fisicamente ativos os jovens que realizaram atividade física moderada a vigorosa com pelo menos uma hora de duração em todos os dias da semana. A prevalência de jovens fisicamente ativos foi de 12,6% (IC95% 10,6 a 14,5), sendo maior no sexo masculino (20,3%; IC95% 16,8 a 23,7) e para aqueles no tercil superior da variável índice de bens (16,5; IC95% 12,7 a 20,3), e inversamente proporcional à faixa etária. Entre os rapazes, os de cor preta foram mais ativos (32,3%; IC95% 14,9 a 49,7); entre as moças, foram as de cor de pele branca (12,7%; IC95% 5,2 a 20,2). A prevalência de atividade física foi baixa nesta população, sobretudo no sexo feminino, em jovens de faixas etárias mais avançadas e naqueles de menor nível socioeconômico.
