Abstract

Objective: Analyze the prevalence of Leisure-time Physical Activity in the Sufficient Leisure Domain (PASL) among elderly people living in the city of São Paulo and its association with sociodemographic characteristics, health behaviors, and morbidity. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with a sample of 693 elderly people (≥60 years old), living in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, whose sociodemographic data, health behavior and morbidity were extracted from the system Surveillance of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases through Telephone Survey, referring to the year 2017. Descriptive statistics, association tests by chi-square, simple crude and adjusted logistic regression, by age, gender, and education, as well as multiple regressions were performed. Results: Prevalence of PASL among the elderly interviewed was 22.5% (n=156). Among the elderly with education >12 years, there was a greater chance of being active (OR=2.47; 95% CI 1.58-3.85) in relation to those with 0-8 years of study, as well as among those who presented a “good” health condition (OR=2.96; 95% CI 1.12-7.76) and “very good” (OR=5.14; 95% CI 1.86-14.23) in relation to those who reported having “Bad/very bad health/don't know". Conclusion: In the general context, it can be inferred that one in four elderly people living in the city of São Paulo practices enough physical activity during leisure. Among the elderly, the prevalence was higher among the younger ones, male, with a partner, white, higher education, with an occupation, which reported “very good” health condition, reported not having chronic diseases, consuming alcohol, and not being smoker.
