“…Regarding the results, eight studies found an association 12,13,16,18,19,21,22,26 between perception of safety and PA practice, all indicating a direct association. Nonetheless, five studies did not show an association between these variables 17,20,[23][24][25] . Perception of safety varied among the following: overall perception of safety 12,13,19,[20][21][22]25 , safety against crimes 23,24 , fear of staying at home or leaving home during the day or night 16,17 , traffic safety 18 and safety against crimes and in traffic 26 .…”

“…With regard to the scale of quality of articles, the mean scores achieved in the present review study was 14.1 ± 1.0, thus showing good quality. Of all 17 points possible, certain studies 13,19,[24][25][26] achieved a higher score (15 points) and the study by Roman et al 23 obtained the lowest score, 12 points. The score of each item and the total score obtained in each study are shown on Table 1.…”

“…Of all 13 articles selected, six were performed in Europe (four in Holland [16][17][18][19] , one in Germany 20 and one in the whole Europe 21 ), six in the Americas (three in the United States [21][22][23] and three in Brazil 13,24,25 ) an one in Africa (Nigeria 26 ). In the studies performed by Europeans and Americans, the majority of the sample was comprised of females and the most prevalent age group was adults and elderly individuals aged more than 60 years.…”

The process of urbanization observed in recent decades has brought with it some consequences for the quality of life and change in the profile of diseases, which are related to higher rates of physical inactivity. The lack of sufficient physical activity (PA) is currently being considered as a risk factor for diseases and comorbidities, especially in adult populations. Thus, the aim of the present study was to systematically review the scientific findings in the literature on the practice of physical activity among adults and its relation to the perception of safety in urban centers, published between 2005 and 2014. The search process was conducted using the PubMed, MedLine and LILACS databases, and the reference lists of selected articles used the following key words: "physical activity", "violence" and "safety". Initially, 303 articles related to the subject under study were found. However, after analyses and the establishment of inclusion criteria, 13 articles were included in this review. It was concluded that the reduction in crime and improvement in traffic and in the environment for walking are key factors to perceive safety in a district. Despite the evidence showing that traffic safety, adequate lighting and improvements in the aesthetics of districts contribute to the perception of safety, the results are yet inconclusive.

“…The variables representing these items were different in 2015 and in 2012, but the loss of effect may be following the changes related to gender. Some studies indicate gender specificities as related to these variables' trend, although they move in opposite directions, since physical activity has been described as less prevalent among girls than among boys [23][24][25] , and part-taking in social networks and groups of friends became more expressive 25 .…”

Introduction: The use of illicit drugs is a public health concern. This paper describes the prevalence and factors associated with the use of illicit drugs throughout life among 9th grade students attending public and private schools in daylight period in Brazil. Method: Data from the Brazilian Adolescent School-based Health Survey (PeNSE) were analyzed. Use of illicit drugs at some point in life was assessed considering marijuana, cocaine, crack, solvent-based glue, ether-based inhalants, ecstasy, and oxy. Data were analized descriptively and by the Poisson's regression model. Results: The use of illicit drugs at least once in life was reported by 9,0% of participants, being more prevalent among girls and associated with alcohol or tobacco use, active sexual life, feeling of loneliness, little or no contact between school and parents, and the experience of familial aggressions. The outcome was inversely associated with close contact with parents and their supervision. Prevalence was higher among participants whose mothers had higher educational levels and had, who had a payed job, and who attended public schools. Discussion: The prevalence of lifetime use of illicit drugs was stable when the three PeNSE samples were compared, but it resulted more common among girls in 2015 for the first time and was associated with the same conditions found in prior studies. Conclusion: Family and school appear to be protective factors, especially when there is direct supervision and care. It is important that both girls and boys are given the same attention when it comes to this this subject.

“…21 Estudos mostram que características do bairro de residência, como disponibilidade de transporte público, segurança no tráfego, infraestrutura para uso de bicicleta, disponibilidade de equipamentos públicos recreacionais, e mesmo a presença de áreas verdes, proporcionam maior prática de atividade física 22,23 , já a criminalidade e a insegurança são fatores que a influenciam negativamente. 24,25 Resultados obtidos a partir de populações idosas também apontam associações entre aspectos contextuais e desfechos de saúde. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] Por exemplo, idosos que residem em regiões com maior desigualdade de renda, medida pelo índice de Gini, apresentam maior chance de relatarem pior estado de saúde.…”

Introdução: Estudos recentes têm mostrado que as quedas são a causa externa de morte mais importante entre idosos, podendo levar a hospitalização, lesões, dependência e aumento nos custos dos serviços sociais e de saúde. O comprometimento da mobilidade funcional é um importante fator de risco para quedas, mas aspectos sociais, ambientais e comportamentais também podem influenciar nesse evento. Objetivo: Identificar os aspectos socioeconômicos e contextuais associados com a mobilidade funcional e quedas em idosos residentes no município de São Paulo. Métodos: Foram utilizados os dados do Estudo Saúde, Bem-Estar e Envelhecimento (SABE), uma amostra representativa para os indivíduos com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos do município de São Paulo, em 2010. As variáveis dependentes do estudo foram a ocorrência de alguma queda no último ano e o comprometimento da mobilidade funcional, mensurada pelo teste Timed Up and Go (TUG). Fatores individuais (estado marital, raça/cor, anos de estudo e percepção de suficiência de renda) e contextuais (Índice de Gini, área verde/ habitante, taxa de homicídio e percentual de domicílios em favelas) foram analisados por modelos logísticos multiníveis. Resultados: De 1.190 idosos inclusos, 29% relataram ter caído no último ano e 46% apresentaram comprometimento da mobilidade funcional. Os fatores individuais socioeconômicos não apresentaram associação com a ocorrência de queda, mas ter 8 anos ou mais de anos de estudo foi um fator protetor para comprometimento da mobilidade em todos os modelos testados (OR: 0,56). Morar em subprefeituras com taxa de homicídio moderada apresentou associação com chance aumentada de cair (OR: 1.51, 95%IC: 1.09-2.07). Moderada área verde se associou com maior chance de cair entre os indivíduos com 80 anos e mais (OR:2,63, 95%IC: 1.23-5.60). Conclusão: Os resultados estão de acordo com a literatura em relação à associação das características do bairro de residência com quedas e mobilidade funcional em idosos. Estratégias voltadas para prevenção de quedas e de dificuldade na mobilidade funcional devem considerar aspectos sociais e ambientais de locais públicos.
