RESUMO
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between physical activity (PA), both occupational (OPA) and during leisure time (LTPA), with obesity and cardiovascular risk factors in Chilean adults. 5,157 participants from the Chilean National Health Survey 2009-2010 were included in this study. OPA and LTPA levels were assessed using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire. The association between both PA with obesity and cardiovascular risk factors was determined using logistic regression. Our findings showed a significant trend between higher LTPA and lower odds for obesity (OR 0.64 [95% CI: 0.53; 0.76], central obesity 0.52 [0.44; 0.61]) and other cardiovascular risk factors including diabetes (OR: 0.72 [0.55; 0.94]), hypertension (OR: 0.59 [0.50; 0.71]) and metabolic syndrome (OR: 0.62 [0.50; 0.78]). In contrast, OPA was only associated with lower odds of diabetes (OR: 0.79 [0.65; 0.98]) and hypertension (0.85 [0.74; 0.98]). In conclusion, LTPA was associated with a lower risk of all major cardiovascular risk factors, whereas OPA was only associated with a lower risk of diabetes and hypertension.

BACKGROUND: Low back pain is a highly prevalent and disabling musculoskeletal disorder. Physical activity is widely used as a prevention strategy for numerous musculoskeletal disorders; however, there is still conflicting evidence as to whether physical activity is a protective or risk factor for low back pain or whether activity levels differ between people with and without low back pain. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between low back pain and different types (occupational and leisure) and intensities (moderate and vigorous) of physical activity. METHODS: This is cross-sectional observational study. We included in this study a total of 1059 individuals recruited from a Spanish twin registry with data available on low back pain. OUTCOME: Self-reported leisure and occupational physical activity were the explanatory variables. The low back pain outcome used in this study was recurrent low back pain. RESULTS: Our results indicate that leisure physical activity is associated with a lower prevalence of recurrent low back pain. In contrast, occupational physical activity, such as carrying, lifting heavy weight while inclined, awkward postures (e.g. bending, twisting, squatting, and kneeling) are associated with a higher prevalence of recurrent low back pain. There was no statistically significant association between other occupational physical activities, such as sitting or standing, and low back pain. CONCLUSION: Leisure and occupational physical activity are likely to have an opposed impact on low back pain. While leisure physical activity appears to be protective, occupational physical activity appears to be harmful to low back pain. Future longitudinal studies should assist in formulating guidelines addressing specific types and intensity of physical activity aimed at effectively preventing low back pain.

Introdução: O aumento da importância das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) no perfil de saúde da população acarretou em demanda pela vigilância de seus fatores de risco e proteção. A população idosa vem experienciando uma grande expansão nas últimas décadas e sua vulnerabilidade majorada para as DCNT a classifica como alvo prioritário para essa vigilância. Objetivo: Analisar a tendência temporal da prática de atividade física no lazer entre a população idosa nas capitais brasileiras e no Distrito Federal, entre 2009 e 2017. Métodos: Dados do Vigitel coletados entre 2009 e 2017 (n= 129.967 idosos) (≥60 anos) foram utilizados. Informações acerca da intensidade, frequência semanal (dias/semana) e duração habitual (minutos/episódio) da prática de atividade física de lazer foram utilizados para a identificação do percentual de idosos, atendendo às recomendações atuais de prática (≥150min/semana). Essas informações foram estimadas para cada ano, para o conjunto completo da população e segundo estratos sociodemográficos e de saúde. Modelos de regressão Prais-Winsten foram usados para a análise da variação temporal. Resultados: A porcentagem dos idosos que referiu prática de atividade física nos 90 dias que antecederam a entrevista aumentou de 37,2% para 43,0% no período entre 2009 e 2017 (0,70 pontos percentuais (pp)/ano). A maioria dos idosos que já praticava atividade física relatou como opção atividade de intensidade moderada (93,9% em 2017). A porcentagem de idosos referindo não praticar atividade física ao menos um dia por semana diminuiu (de 64,2% para 59,4%, -0,73 pp/ano), com aumento nas faixas de prática entre 1 e 4 dias/semana. A duração habitual (minutos/episódio) da prática também aumentou, de 48,1% para 58,2% (0,62pp/ano), com a porcentagem de prática em 60 minutos ou mais por episódio. Com isso, a porcentagem de idosos atingindo nível recomendado de prática (≥150min/semana) aumentou de 23,2% para 25,8% (0,30 pp/ano), com maiores aumentos observados naqueles com idade entre 60 a 69 anos (0,39pp/ano), com escolaridade entre 0 e 8 anos de estudo (0,22pp/ano) e residentes nas capitais da região Norte (0,99pp/ano). De forma geral, maiores aumentos foram observados nos estratos com menor nível de prática no início do período estudado. Conclusão: A prática de atividade física evoluiu de forma favorável, com aumento da porcentagem de idosos atendendo às recomendações de prática.(AU)
Introduction: The increased importance of noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) in the health profile of the population led to a demand for the surveillance of their risk factors and protection. The elderly population has been experiencing great expansion in recent decades and their increased vulnerability to NCDs classifies it as a priority target for this surveillance. Objective: To analyze the temporal tendency of leisure time physical activity among the elderly population in the Brazilian capitals and Federal District between 2009 and 2017. Methods: Vigitel data collected between 2009 and 2017 (n=129,967 elderly) (≥60 years) were used. Information related to the intensity, weekly frequency (days/week) and habitual duration (minutes/episode) of leisure physical activity practice were used to identify the percentage of elderly attending to the current recommendations of the practice (≥150min/week). This information was estimated for each year, for the entire population and according to socio-demographic and health strata. Prais-Winsten regression were used for temporal variation analysis. Results: The percentage of the elderly referring the physical activity practice in the 90 days before the interview increased from 37.2% to 43.0% in the period between 2009 and 2017 (0,70 percentage points (pp)/year). The majority of the elderly opted for moderate intensity activity (93.9% in 2017). The percentage of elderly individuals who reported not practicing physical activity at least one day per week decreased (from 64.2% to 59.4%, -0.73pp/year), with an increase in the practice ranges between 1 and 4 days/week. The usual duration of the practice also increased, with the percentage of practice in 60 minutes or more per episode, increasing from 48.1% to 58.2% (0.62pp/year). As a result, the percentage of elderly people reaching the recommended volume of leisure physical activity practice increased from 23.2% to 25.8% (0.30pp/year) with higher increases observed in those aged 60-69 years (0.39pp / year), with education between 0 and 8 years of study (0.22pp/year) and residents in the capitals of the North region (0.99pp /year).. In general, higher increases were observed in strata with lower level of practice at the beginning of the studied period. Conclusion: The practice of physical activity evolved favorably, with an increase in the percentage of elderly attending to the practice recommendations.(AU)
