Resumo: We aimed to evaluate how Brazilian adults rank seven well-known health-related factors in terms of importance for health. A population-based study was undertaken in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil (N = 3,100; response rate: 96.5%). Individuals ranked three out of seven factors that, in their opinion, were the most important for health. The factors investigated were: "controlling stress", "practicing physical activity regularly", "avoiding drinking in excess", "avoiding smoking", "visiting a doctor regularly", "keeping the ideal weight", and "having a healthy diet". Healthy diet (73.9%), physical activity (59.9%), and visiting a doctor regularly (45.7%) were the most frequently reported factors. Younger subjects and those with higher socioeconomic status were more likely to report physical activity and stress as important factors for health than their counterparts. The importance attributed to health-related factors changes markedly among population subgroups.

Estudo de base populacional realizado em Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil (N = 3.100; taxa de resposta: 96,5%). Com base nos fatores listados, os indivíduos ordenaram três que, de acordo com sua opinião, fossem os mais importantes para a saúde. Os fatores investigados foram: "controlar o estresse", "praticar atividade física regularmente", "evitar beber em excesso", "evitar fumar", "consultar um médico regularmente", "manter o peso ideal" e "ter uma dieta saudável". Dieta saudável (73,9%), atividade física (59,9%) e visitar um médico (45,7%) foram os mais citados. Indivíduos jovens e aqueles de melhor nível econômico relataram atividade física e estresse como fatores importantes para a saúde mais freqüentemente que seus pares. A importância atribuída para fatores relacionados à saúde altera-se drasticamente entre subgrupos populacionais.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2010-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4371Reports in Public Health; Vol. 26 No. 4 (2010): AprilCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 26 n. 4 (2010): Abril1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4371/8903https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/4371/8904Reichert, Felipe FossatiDomingues, Marlos RodriguesHallal, Pedro C.Azevedo, Mario RenatoSiqueira, Fernando VinholesBarros, Aluísio J.D.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:28:08Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/4371Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:05:03.002433Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true
