Resumo
O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a associação da prática de caminhada no domínio lazer e no domínio deslocamento com a percepção do ambiente em adultos residentes no município de Rio Claro - SP. Foi realizado um estudo transversal de base domiciliar com amostra composta por 470 adultos (45,7±17,8 anos). Os sujeitos responderam o Questionário Internacional de Atividades Físicas (versão longa) e uma versão adaptada da Escala de Mobilidade Ativa no Ambiente Comunitário, que foi utilizada para investigar a percepção do ambiente construído e social. Para análise dos dados foi realizada uma regressão logística, sendo considerado como desfecho, caminhar ≥10minutos/semana no domínio lazer e no deslocamento. A prevalência de sujeitos que realizavam caminhada no lazer foi de 20,6% e 58,9% para a caminhada no deslocamento. A prevalência de caminhada no deslocamento entre as mulheres foi maior quando comparado com os homens (66,3% e 50,0%, respectivamente) e menor no domínio lazer (19,8% e 21,7%, respectivamente). A caminhada como forma de deslocamento foi associada com sexo feminino, classe econômica mais baixas (C, D e E) e percepção da disponibilidade da presença de faixa de pedestre. Para a caminhada no domínio lazer as variáveis pessoais e do ambiente que se associaram foram: idade (60 anos ou mais), classe econômica (B2, C, D e E), convite de amigos e/ou vizinhos para a prática. Os resultados apresentados demonstram que há uma associação entre a percepção do ambiente e a prática de caminhada no lazer e no deslocamento.
This study aimed to analyze the association between walking for leisure and commuting and the perceived environment in adults living in Rio Claro, São Paulo, Brazil. A cross-sectional household-based study was conducted with 470 adults (45.7±17.8 years). Subjects responded to the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (long version) and to an adapted version of the Neighborhood Environmental Walkability Scale, which was used to evaluate the perceived built and social environments. Data analysis was performed using logistic regression. The outcome was walking ≥10minutes/week for leisure or commuting. The prevalence of participants who regularly walked ranged from 20.6% (walking for leisure) to 58.9% (walking for commuting). The prevalence of walking for commuting was higher in women than in men (66.3% and 50.0%, respectively), and walking for leisure was more common among men (21.7% when compared to 19.8% of women). Walking for commuting was associated with the female sex, lower economic classes (C, D, and E), and perceived availability of crosswalks. Walking for leisure was associated with the following individual and environmental variables: age (60 years or above), social class (B2, C, D, and E), invitations by friends and/or neighbors for walking. The results demonstrate that there is an association between perceived environment and walking for leisure or commuting.
