Abstract

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to analyze the association between the built environment at school and in the neighborhood and daily physical activity (DPA) and daily screen use (DS) among  students with different behavioral patterns. Participants were students (9.1 ± 1.38 years, 53.2% girls) from the 2nd to the 5th year of public schools (n = 2,384), in the city of Feira de Santana, BA. Physical activities and sedentary behaviors were assessed using an online questionnaire (Web-CAAFE) and used to define behavioral patterns by cluster analysis, segmented by gender. Built environment at school (playground and covered spaces for physical activities) and in the neighborhood (sports courts, soccer fields, parks and squares) were the exposures variables. The outcomes, DPA and DS, were obtained by the sum the one-day reports. Multiple negative binomial regression models, controlled for age and Body Mass Index z-score, were estimated prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). DPA was associated with squares among “active players” girls (PR = 1.35; 95%CI: 1.09 - 1.68) and with covered spaces for physical activities among “sedentary/household chores performers” (PR = 0.86; 95%CI: 075 - 0.97). Among “sedentary in academic tasks” boys, DPA was associated with Soccer fields (PR = 1.20; 95%CI: 1.02 - 1.42) and DS with Playground (PR = 1.17; 95%CI: 1.00 - 1.37). DS was also associated with Covered spaces for physical activity among “sedentary on screen” (PR = 1.28; 95%CI: 1.04 - 1.57). DPA and DS of boys and girls with different behavior patterns were associated with several built environment factors.
