The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence of sedentary leisure time (no type of leisure-time exercise once a week or more) among the elderly in the city of Campinas, São Paulo State, Brazil, according to demographic and socioeconomic factors, other health-related behaviors, and the presence of morbidity. This was a population-based cross-sectional study with multiple-stage sampling. Data analysis considered the sample design. Prevalence of sedentary leisure time was 70.9%, and the prevalence ratio was significantly higher than 1.0 for the elderly with lower socioeconomic status (1.31: 1.11-1.55), smokers (1.39: 1.23-1.57), those with common mental disorders (1.20: 1.04-1.39), and females (1.16: 1.00-1.35). Prevalence of walking was 23.5%, followed by fitness or bodybuilding programs (3.8%), and swimming or water aerobics (3.6%). The results show the need to develop global action for health-related behaviors in order for this approach to succeed. Attention should focus on the elderly with common mental disorders and those with lower socioeconomic status to ensure equity in health promotion practices.
本研究的目的是根据人口统计学和社会经济因素、其他与健康相关的行为以及发病情况，确定巴西圣保罗州坎皮纳斯市老年人久坐休闲时间（每周不进行任何一种休闲运动或运动次数少于一次）的患病率。这是一项基于人群的多阶段抽样横断面研究。数据分析考虑了样本设计。久坐休闲时间的患病率为70.9%，社会经济地位较低的老年人（患病率比为1.31：1.11 - 1.55）、吸烟者（1.39：1.23 - 1.57）、患有常见精神障碍的人（1.20：1.04 - 1.39）以及女性（1.16：1.00 - 1.35）的患病率比显著高于1.0。步行的患病率为23.5%，其次是健身或健美项目（3.8%），以及游泳或水中有氧运动（3.6%）。结果表明，为使这种方法取得成功，需要针对与健康相关的行为开展全球行动。应关注患有常见精神障碍的老年人以及社会经济地位较低的老年人，以确保健康促进实践的公平性。
