ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to examine the independent and combined associations of physical activity and different types of screen time in cardiovascular disease risk factors in adolescents. The sample was comprised for 1,045 adolescents (51.7% female) aged 11-17 years old randomly selected. Screen time was considered by the self-related electronic devices such as time watching TV, using computer (PC) and playing videogame (VG). Physical activity was estimated by the number of steps per day (steps/day) measured by pedometers. Cardiovascular risk factors were sum of triceps and subscapular skin-folds (∑SF), total cholesterol (TC) and blood pressure (BP). Predictors and outcome variables were dichotomized using standardized cut off points. Categories of steps/day and different types of screen time were cross tabulated to the combined analyses. A set of sociodemographic variables was used as confounders. To test the independent and combined associations Chi-square tests (unadjusted) and binary logistic regression (adjusted) were used. TV time was directly and independently associated to ∑SF in females and to TC in males. Steps/day was inversely and independently associated to TC and to BP (not in female). Overall, combined analyses showed that adolescents who did not meet recommendations of steps/day and exposure an excessive screen time are more likely to present car-diovascular risk factor. Public health programs to increase physical activity and reduce screen time, especially TV time, should be developed to improve and prevent cardiovascular health in adolescents
RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as associações independentes e combinadas da atividade física e de diferentes tipos de tempo de tela com fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares (DCV ) em adolescentes. A amostra foi composta por 1.045 adolescentes (51,7% meninas) de 11 a 17 anos de idade selecionados aleato-riamente. O tempo de tela (TT) foi considerado a partir do autorrelato do tempo de médio diário assistindo TV, e usando computador (PV ) e jogando videogame ( VG). A atividade física foi estimada pelo número de passos (passos/dia) medido por pedômetros. Os fatores de risco para DCV foram o somatório de dobras cutâneas (∑DC), colesterol total (CT) e pressão arterial (PA). Preditores e desfechos foram dicotomizados usando pontos de corte padronizados. As categorias do passos/dia e TT foram combinadas. Diferentes variá-veis sociodemográficas foram utilizadas como variáveis de ajuste. Para testar as associações independentes e combinadas foram utilizados teste qui-quadrado (brutas) e a regressão logística binária (ajustada). O tempo de TV se associou direta e independentemente com o ∑DC nas meninas e com o CT nos meninos. Os passos/dia se associou inversa e independentemente com o CT e a PA (meninos). De maneira geral, as análises combinadas mostraram que adolescentes que não atendem as recomendações para passos/dia e TT apresen-tam probabilidade aumentada de estarem expostos a fatores de risco para doenças CDV. Programas de saúde pública para o aumento da atividade física e redução do tempo de tela, principalmente o tempo de TV, devem ser desenvolvidos para prevenção da saúde cardiovascular de adolescentes
