- The aim of the study was to verify the prevalence and factors associated with active transport to work among public basic education teachers in the state of Minas Gerais. An epidemiological survey of the websurvey type was carried out with teachers from the state public system of basic education in Minas Gerais. The collection took place from August to September 2020 via digital form. The dependent variable was active transport to work and the crude; and adjusted Poisson Regression was used. 15,641 teachers participated in the study, of which, 26.1% were actively commuting to work. There was a higher prevalence among women (PR=1.08; 95%CI 1.01; 1.17), aged 41 to 59 years (PR=1.20; 95%CI 1.12;1.28), from the urban area (PR=1.51; 95%CI 1.37;1.66), with lower family income (PR=1.75; 95%CI 1.48;1.93), those with working time higher than 20 years (PR=1.27; 95%CI 1.19;1.35), who work as teachers for up to 39 hours per week (PR=1.15; 95%CI 1.06;1.25), with eutrophic weight (PR=1.09; 95%CI 1.02;1.17) and those who practiced physical activity 5 times or more a week (PR=1.25; 95%CI 1.15;1.36). The results showed that there is a significant prevalence of teachers who do not carry out active transport to work. The highest prevalence of active transport to work was significantly associated with several variables, among which the census area and family income. Incentives are needed to promote active transportation among teachers.
Objetivo: Investigar o estilo de vida e fatores associados entre estudantes de ciências biológicas e da saúde durante a pandemia da COVID-19 e refletir sobre a inter-relação entre letramento em saúde e estilo de vida. Método: Trata-se de estudo transversal e quantitativo, em que se analisou o estilo de vida de 618 estudantes universitários de ciências biológicas e da saúde, por meio do questionário Estilo de Vida Fantástico. Realizou-se análise bivariada com Regressão de Poisson visando identificar fatores associados ao estilo de vida inadequado. Ademais, buscou-se, a partir de revisão integrativa da literatura, artigos que abordassem as variáveis significativas encontradas na análise e a inter-relação com Letramento em saúde. Resultados: Identificou-se que 25,6% dos estudantes possuíam estilo de vida inadequado. Diversos fatores associaram-se ao estilo de vida e ao letramento em saúde, como fatores sociodemográficos, fatores relacionados à saúde física e mental e fatores associados às vivências pessoais. Considerações finais: É provável que os níveis de letramento em saúde e a qualidade do estilo de vida inter-relacionem-se e associem-se aos fatores que modulam os comportamentos de saúde, o que indicaria, portanto, a necessidade de abordá-los conjuntamente entre os estudantes.
