ABSTRACT
Abstract Aim:
This study aimed to examine the association between physical activity (PA) indicators and TV viewing as a function of the Human Development Index (HDI).Method:
This cross-sectional study was based on data from the National School Health Survey, which was composed of 102,072 students (14.28±1.03; 51.3% girls). Total PA, active commuting to school (ACS) and TV viewing were assessed by questionnaires and classified through a gradual scale ranging from "F" (low) to "A+" (high). The correlation between total PA, ACS, TV viewing and HDI was verified by Spearman's Correlation and presented in rs.Results:
HDI was positively associated with total PA [girls rs = 0.572 (p < 0.001); boys rs = 0.843 (p < 0.001)] and ACS [girls rs = 0.433 (p < 0.001); boys rs = 0.554 (p < 0.001)]; while a negative correlation was found between HDI and TV viewing [girls rs = -0.330 (p < 0.001); boys rs = -0.348 (p < 0.001)].Conclusions:
Brazilian adolescents from states with higher HDI were more active and spent more time watching TV than their counterparts from states with lower HDI.
