BACKGROUND To estimate the prevalence of and identify factors associated with physical activity in leisure, transportation, occupational, and household settings. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study aimed at investigating living and health conditions among the population of São Paulo, Brazil. Data on 1318 adults aged 18 to 65 years were used. To assess physical activity, the long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was applied. Multivariate analysis was conducted…

[Occupation-, transportation- and leisure-related physical activity: gender inequalities in Santander, Colombia].
TLDR
The prevalence of occupational and leisure physical activity and compliance with recommendations were lower in women and physical activity surveillance and related public policies should take into account the inequalities between the practice of men and women related to their socioeconomic conditions and the sexual division of labor.
Physical activity in the older adults related to commuting and leisure, Maceió, Brazil
TLDR
Factors such as age, gender and income should be considered, especially with regards leisure, in order to ensure fairness in the development of policies to promote health and physical activity in this population.
Practice of physical activities and associated factors in adults, Brazil, 2006.
TLDR
Results obtained are important to monitor physical activity levels in Brazil and differences between men and women and those in age groups and levels of education must be considered to promote physical activities.
[Prevalence of leisure-time physical activity and associated factors: a population-based study in São Paulo, Brazil, 2008-2009].
TLDR
The findings indicate the importance of encouraging leisure-time physical activity, which was associated with male sex, higher income, younger age, not smoking, and not reporting frequent fatigue in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, 2008-2009.
Adult physical activity levels and associated factors in rural communities of Minas Gerais State, Brazil.
TLDR
The prevalence of physically active adults in this rural area was high, but the levels of leisure time physical activity were low and followed patterns similar to those observed in urban areas, in relation to age, sex and educational status.
Prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of all domains of physical activity in Brazilian adults.
Associated factors with physical activity and social activity in a sample of Brazilian older adults: data from the FIBRA Study.
TLDR
Have higher family income showed association with high level of leisure time, occupational and transportation physical activity, result supported by the literature and highlighting the increasing age as the major barrier to performance physical and social activities in old age.
Perception of the environment and leisure-time physical activity in the elderly.
TLDR
Programs to promote physical activities for the elderly population must consider the variables associated with public and private structures, places where there are social gatherings (churches), social support (invitation from friends to exercise) and perception of safety.

Factors associated with leisure time physical inactivity in black individuals: hierarchical model
TLDR
It is concluded that male gender, higher education and socioeconomic status can reduce LTPI in black adults.

Leisure-time, occupational, and household physical activity among professional, skilled, and less-skilled workers and homemakers.
TLDR
The assessment of occupational and household physical activity in addition to leisure-time activity may be important for understanding associations between occupational categories, physical activity, and increased levels of health risk and for the development of physical activity promotion strategies.
Epidemiology of leisure-time physical activity: a population-based study in southern Brazil.
TLDR
The prevalence of physical inactivity in this adult population was higher than in populations from developed countries, but the associated variables were similar.
Physical activity patterns in a diverse population of women.
TLDR
The findings suggest that demographic and psychosocial correlates of physical activity vary by domain and that initiatives to promote physical activity in the population need to take these differences into account.
A descriptive epidemiology of leisure-time physical activity in Brazil, 1996-1997.
TLDR
The prevalence of adult LTPA in Brazil was much lower than the levels that have been reported for developed countries, and there was a strong association between LTPA and socioeconomic status, measured either by income or schooling, independent of age, region, and urban or rural place of residence.
Physical inactivity: prevalence and associated variables in Brazilian adults.
TLDR
The prevalence of physical inactivity in this Brazilian adult population is high, even though lower than reported in studies of leisure-time activity alone in other populations, and studies in developing countries may be seriously biased if activities during labor, transportation, and housework are not assessed.
Socioeconomic differences in leisure-time physical activity: the role of social participation and social capital in shaping health related behaviour.
Differences in leisure-time, household, and work-related physical activity by race, ethnicity, and education
TLDR
Education was far more important than race/ethnicity as a determinant of LTPA and WRPA in multivariate analyses, and differences in educational attainment and health status accounted for virtually all of the racial and ethnic differences in LTPA.
Occupation, hours worked, and leisure-time physical activity.
TLDR
Identifying the factors contributing to occupational variability in leisure-time physical activity will add to the understanding of why population subgroups differ in their health risk profiles, and assist in the development of health promotion strategies to reduce rates of sedentariness and health inequalities.
Correlates of changes in leisure time physical activity over 2 years: the Healthy Worker Project.
TLDR
The dynamic associations between changes in sociodemographics and physical activity demonstrate the need to examine changes in sociology over time, rather than at only a single time point.
Physical activity and its association with other lifestyle factors
TLDR
Higher levels of leisure-time physical activity were associated with a general healthier lifestyle and men and women with high socioeconomic status were four and three times more likely to have an active leisure time than those with low socioeconomic status.
