Objetivo: Foi analisar o número de passos em diferentes dias da semana e horários durante a pandemia covid-19 em pessoas idosas com hipertensão arterial. Métodos: Pessoas idosas com hipertensão arterial sem doenças cardiovasculares maiores (n = 32; 67 ± 4 anos) foram analisadas longitudinalmente (seguimento de 16-18 meses; pré-pandemia: janeiro/março-2020; distanciamento social: junho/2020; pós-vacinação: julho/2021). O número de passos foi mensurado por acelerometria (uma semana). Resultados: Houve diminuição do número de passos nos dias da semana e final de semana no distanciamento social (vs. pré-pandemia: β = 1.183 passos/dia; p = 0,018; β = 1.947 passos/dia; p < 0,001). Após vacinação, no final de semana, o número de passos permaneceu menor (vs. pré-pandemia: β = 1.152; p = 0,005), embora tenha aumentado pós-vacinação (vs. distanciamento social; β = 796; p < 0,027). Não houve mudança no horário da manhã (p > 0,05). No horário da tarde, houve diminuição no distanciamento social (vs. pré-pandemia: β = 629 passos/dia; p < 0,001), e aumento pós-vacinação (vs. distanciamento social: β = 485 passos/dia; p = 0,001). No horário da noite, houve diminuição no distanciamento social (vs. pré-pandemia: β = 360 passos/dia; p = 0,001) e pós-vacinação (vs. pré-pandemia: β = 310 passos/dia; p = 0,002). Conclusão: No distanciamento social, houve redução do número de passos na semana e final de semana, concentrada nos horários da tarde e noite. Ainda houve menor número de passos no horário da noite pós-vacinação, embora tenha se observado aumento nos finais de semana e horário da tarde em relação ao distanciamento social.
