Abstract

Abstract Objective: To describe the prevalence of physical inactivity among users of Psychosocial Care Centers of Pelotas and investigate factors associated. Methods: A cross-sectional design nested in a prospective cohort study among users of CAPS Pelotas / RS. We used a standardized questionnaire containing questions precoded. The dependent variable was physical inactivity during leisure time as measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ questionnaire) in the short version. We used the chi-square test to compare proportions with a significance level of 5%. Multivariate analysis using Poisson Regression was conducted to adjust the effect of potential confounding factors. Results: The prevalence of inactivity in the sample was 61% (95% CI 57-64) without differences in relation to gender (p < 0.423), skin color (p < 0.763), family income (p < 0.943) , smoking (p < 0.670), with alcohol dependence (p < 0506), and participation in groups (p < 0.153) and workshops (p < 0.567). There was no significant variation in the prevalence of sedentary lifestyle according to the type of disorder. Compared with younger people, older people had a higher prevalence of physical inactivity (p < 0.015 T) and lower educational level, higher prevalence of physical inactivity (p < 0.004 T). Compared with whom he was working, people who had never worked for almost 60% higher prevalence of physical inactivity (p < 0.003). With the adjustment, age lost significance (p < 0.130) and remained strongly associated with sedentary the less educated (p < 0.029), the fact of not working (p < 0.000), presence of cognitive impairment (p < 0.000) and worse self-rated health status (p < 0.000). Conclusion: Physical inactivity is associated with less schooling, the fact of not working, the presence of cognitive impairment and poorer health perception
