ABSTRACT
Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the association between perceived neighborhood characteristics and leisure time physical activity (PA) and the moderator effect of gender, age, schooling and time spent working/studying on perceived environment and leisure PA in adults. This is a cross-sectional study conducted with 699 adults (53.1% women), distributed from 32 census tracts selected according to walkability and neighborhood income characteristics in Curitiba. Perceived neighborhood characteristics were assessed using the Brazilian version of the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale-Abbreviated (A-NEWS). Leisure time PA was evaluated through the long-version IPAQ and walking and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were analyzed separately. PA classification considered ≥10 minutes/week and ≥150 minutes/week of walking or MVPA. Associations were tested using a multilevel logistic binary model. After adjusting for potential confounders, aesthetics perception was associated with ≥10 minutes/week of walking. Additionally, access to public places for leisure remained associated with ≥10 minutes/week and ≥150 minutes/week of MVPA. The relationship between perceived access to public spaces, walking and MVPA were stronger in women and younger adults. It is concluded that a better perception of neighborhood aesthetics was associated with the practice of walking and access to public spaces with the practice of MVPA, respectively.
RESUMO
Resumo Objetivou-se analisar a associação entre características percebidas do ambiente do bairro e a prática de atividades físicas (AF) no lazer e verificar o efeito moderador do gênero, faixa etária, escolaridade e tempo no trabalho/escola na relação entre a percepção do ambiente e AF no lazer em adultos. Estudo transversal com 699 adultos (53,1% mulheres), residentes em 32 setores censitários com diferentes características ambientais em Curitiba (walkability e renda). As características percebidas do ambiente do bairro foram avaliadas pela versão em português do Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale-Abbreviated (A-NEWS). A AF no lazer foi avaliada pelo IPAQ longo e a caminhada foi analisada separadamente da prática de atividades físicas moderadas à vigorosas (AFMV). A classificação da AF no lazer considerou as pessoas que "realizam" ≥10 minutos/semana e ainda aquelas realizam ≥150 minutos/semana de caminhadas ou AFMV. As associações foram testadas com um modelo logístico binário multinível. Após ajuste para as potenciais variáveis de confundimento, observou-se que melhor percepção de estética foi associada a maior chance de adultos caminharem ≥10 minutos/semana no lazer. Além disto, maior percepção de acesso a espaços públicos de lazer foi associado a maior chance dos adultos realizarem ≥10 minutos/semana e ≥150 minutos/semana de AFMV. As associações entre acesso a espaços públicos de lazer com caminhada e AFMV foram mais fortes entre mulheres e adultos mais jovens. Conclui-se que melhor percepção da estética do bairro foi associada à prática da caminhada e o acesso a espaços públicos com a prática de AFMV.
