Vigitel is a population-based cross-sectional telephone survey aiming to continuously monitor the frequency and distribution of major risk and protective factors for noncommunicable diseases among adults in Brazil. Between 2006 and 2019, Vigitel completed 14 editions, reaching the position of the largest and most well-maintained health survey in the country. Vigitel annually collects individual-level self-reported health information from a sample of approximately 54 000 adults (aged 18 years or older), living in households with a landline, in the 26 Brazilian state capitals and Federal District. Vigitel completed 730 309 interviews and the response rates were always kept over 60%. A range of self-reported risk and protective factors for noncommunicable diseases information was collected. Each year has a core set of topics: sociodemographic characteristics and health behaviours related to chronic diseases. Reports and microdata are openly available through the Brazilian Ministry of Health website.
