Health interventions for elderly people must understand the association between physical activity, sociodemographic factors, and non-communicable diseases. This study aimed to verify the association between physical activity in leisure time, sociodemographic factors, and NCDs in Brazilian older people. This is a descriptive study, with a cross-sectional design, carried out using secondary data from the 2019 National Health Survey-Brazil. It used data from 23,144 subjects aged over 60 years. Statistical analyses included descriptive and quantile regression with cutoff points 0.25, 0.50 (Median), 0.75, and 0.90 to verify the association between the variables. The statistical software R version 4.1.3 was used. Older people aged between 60 and 79 years were highlighted up to the 50th quantile. Females showed lower values in all quantiles, with emphasis from quantile 50 onwards. Subjects who self-declared as "white" showed significant differences up to quantile 50, not indicating significant values from this cutoff point. Residents of the rural area had lower values than residents of the urban area in all quantiles, with emphasis starting from the median. For cardiovascular diseases, it was found that subjects who did not report having this type of disease had better results for the amount of physical activity during leisure time, especially from the 75th quantile. It was concluded that there is a direct relationship between time spent in leisure-time performing physical activity, sociodemographic variables, and NCDs. It is necessary to review and validate cutoff points according to each category viewed, which can favor the adjustment of interventions according to each population. Actions of this nature can favor adherence by groups of older people to the weekly practice of physical activity.
老年人的健康干预措施必须了解体力活动、社会人口因素与非传染性疾病之间的关系。本研究旨在验证巴西老年人闲暇时间体力活动、社会人口因素与非传染性疾病之间的关系。这是一项描述性研究，采用横断面设计，使用 2019 年巴西国家卫生调查的二级数据进行。研究共纳入了 23144 名 60 岁以上的受试者。统计分析包括描述性分析和分位数回归，采用 0.25、0.50（中位数）、0.75 和 0.90 作为截断点来验证变量之间的关系。使用 R 版本 4.1.3 进行统计分析。60 至 79 岁的老年人在第 50 分位数之前被强调。所有分位数中女性的得分均较低，从第 50 分位数开始更加明显。自我报告为“白人”的受试者在第 50 分位数之前存在显著差异，但从该截断点开始，差异无统计学意义。在所有分位数中，农村地区的居民的得分均低于城市地区的居民，从中位数开始差异更加明显。对于心血管疾病，结果表明，不报告患有该疾病的受试者在闲暇时间进行体力活动的量上表现更好，特别是从第 75 分位数开始。结论是，闲暇时间体力活动、社会人口变量与非传染性疾病之间存在直接关系。需要根据每个查看的类别来审查和验证截断点，这可以根据每个人群调整干预措施。这种性质的行动可以使老年人更愿意遵守每周进行体力活动的建议。
