ABSTRACT
This study examined associations of physical activity (PA) outside school, Body mass index (BMI) and television time (TVT) with Self-rated health (SRH) among youth. A total of 1,121 adolescents aged from 10-18 years old participated in this cross-sectional study. PA was obtained through a questionnaire. TVT was accessed by asking the participant how many hours/day did they watch TV in the preceding week. BMI [weight (kg)/ height2 (m)] were used as an indicator of children's nutritional status. Associations of self-reported PA, TVT and BMI to SRH were assessed by gender, using Chi Squared and multivariate logistic regression controlling for mothers' education level. High levels of physical activity (boys OR = 2.43; 95%CI 1.24 to 4.78; girls OR = 2.02; 95%CI 1.26 to 3.24) were significantly associated with better SRH in adolescents. Obese/overweight boys were less likely to report positive SRH (OR = 0.41; 95%CI 0.20 to 0.81) compared to their normal-weight peers. TVT in both genders and being overweight/obese in girls was not significantly associated with SRH. Results suggest that positive SRH is associated with PA levels, in both boys and girls, and with better nutritional status in boys.
RESUMO
Este estudo analisou as associações entre a autoavaliação da saúde (AAS) com a atividade física (AF) fora do contexto escolar, o índice de massa corporal (IMC) e o tempo de televisão (TTV). Um total de 1.121 adolescentes de 10 a 18 anos de idade participaram deste estudo transversal. A AF foi mensurada por questionário. O TTV foi obtido pela questão "Na última semana quantas horas por dia você passou assistindo TV?". O IMC foi utilizado como indicador do estado nutricional. As associações entre a AAS e as restantes variáveis foram determinadas, separadamente por gênero, pelo Chi-quadrado e regressão logística multivariada, controlando para a escolaridade da mãe. Níveis elevados de AF foram associados a uma melhor AAS (rapazes OR = 2,43; IC95% 1,24-4,78; meninas OR = 2,02; IC95% 1,26-3,24). Rapazes com sobrepeso/obesidade apresentaram menor chance de autoavaliarem o estado de saúde de forma positiva (OR = 0,41; IC95% 0,20-0,81) quando comparados aos de peso corporal normal. O TTV não se associou à AAS em rapazes nem em meninas. Ter sobrepeso/obesidade não se mostrou significativamente associado a AAS em meninas. Os resultados do nosso estudo sugerem que maiores níveis de AF em rapazes e em meninas e menor IMC nos rapazes se associam a uma melhor AAS.
