To estimate the level of physical activity among children and adolescents orphaned by AIDS according to socio-demographic and orphanhood-related characteristics.
A population-based study was carried out with 235 children and adolescents aged 7 to 14 years in the municipality of São Paulo, SP, in 2007. Children were classified as active and inactive. The cut-off point established was 300 minutes of weekly physical activity. All variables were compared between both groups and sexes.
An overall prevalence of 42% of inactivity was found. Active commuting and child's play were the main physical activities for most of the children and adolescents. As for physical activity level, a significant difference was observed between sexes (p < 0.001). Boys were more active and played outdoors more than girls.
There is a high prevalence of physical inactivity among children and adolescents orphaned by AIDS, especially girls.
根据社会人口学及与孤儿身份相关的特征，评估因艾滋病成为孤儿的儿童和青少年的身体活动水平。
2007年，在圣保罗市对235名7至14岁的儿童和青少年进行了一项基于人群的研究。将儿童分为活跃组和不活跃组。设定的每周身体活动临界值为300分钟。对两组及不同性别之间的所有变量进行比较。
发现总体不活动患病率为42%。主动出行和儿童游戏是大多数儿童和青少年的主要身体活动。至于身体活动水平，不同性别之间存在显著差异（p < 0.001）。男孩比女孩更活跃，且户外活动更多。
因艾滋病成为孤儿的儿童和青少年中身体不活动的患病率很高，尤其是女孩。
