Abstract

Objective: this study aimed to analyze the prevalence of risk and protective factors for Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases in the adult Brazilian population living in the capitals in 2019, focusing on differences in gender, age group, and schooling. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted using 2019 data from the Surveillance of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (Vigitel). Prevalence and prevalence ratios were estimated using the Poisson Regression model, with a significance level of 5%. Results: the study revealed that 9.8% of the participants were smokers, with a higher prevalence among men, especially in the 55-64 age group. Alcohol abuse was reported by 18.8% of respondents, with men having a prevalence 1.8 times higher than women.  Regarding weight, 55.4% of the participants were classified as overweight, with a higher prevalence among men, morbid obesity, on the other hand, was 40% less prevalent in this group. Concerning food consumption, women reported a higher intake of fruit and vegetables than men who consumed more beans, soft drinks, and ultra-processed foods. Leisure-time physical activity was more frequent among men and young people. Poor self-rated health was reported by 4.8% of participants and was more common among women and the elderly. Hypertension was reported by 24.5% of respondents, with a lower prevalence among men, while diabetes had a prevalence of 7.4%, with no significant differences between the sexes.  Conclusion: the study identified significant differences related to gender, age, and schooling in the distribution of diseases, risk and protective factors among adults in Brazilian capitals.
