RESUMO
O estudo investigou a prevalência e os fatores associados à inatividade física no lazer em trabalhadores da indústria do Rio Grande do Sul. Empregou-se questionário para a coleta de dados, com uso da regressão de Poisson na análise. Participaram do estudo 2.265 trabalhadores, sendo a maioria homens (55,9%). Grande proporção dos trabalhadores enquadrou-se na faixa etária de até 29 anos (47,6%). A prevalência de inatividade física no lazer foi de 45,6% (IC95% 43,5; 47,6), associando-se com sexo feminino, ter companheiro(a), ser fumante, não estar satisfeito(a) com o peso corporal e apresentar percepção negativa de bem-estar no lazer. Detectou-se associação direta do desfecho com o aumento da idade e associação inversa com a autopercepção de saúde. Conclui-se que a prevalência de inatividade física no lazer em trabalhadores foi elevada, sendo o sexo feminino e a percepção de bem-estar no lazer negativa os fatores mais fortemente associados à ocorrência de tal comportamento.
ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and associated factors to physical inactivity during leisure-time in a representative sample of industrial workers from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Physical inactivity was defined as the negative response to the question Do you perform any type of physical activity during leisure-time, such as exercises (calisthenics, walking, jogging), sports, dance or martial arts? The sample included 2,265 workers, and the prevalence of physical inactivity was 45.6% (CI95% 43.5; 47.6), which was significantly higher for females, those living with a companion, smokers, those not satisfied with their body weight, and those with a negative perception of their own leisure. Besides, it was observed a positive association of physical inactivity with age, and a negative association with self assessment of health status. Overall, results indicate that the prevalence of leisure-time physical inactivity among industrial workers in this state was high, with greater exposition to this unhealthy behavior for females, and those perceiving their own leisure-time as not satisfying.
