Association Between Moderate and Severe Anxiety Symptoms with Habitual Physical Activity
Abstract
The objective of this study was to verify the association of behavioral factors and health indicators with the presence of anxiety symptoms in users of Basic Health Units in the municipality of Caruaru, Pernambuco. This cross-sectional study used data from 214 males and females> 40 years old, selected from 7 PCS. The dependent variable was the intensity of anxiety by the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Independent variables were the general level of physical activity and its domains: leisure-time, work, transportation, and household tasks measured through the long version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Sociodemographic and economic data were adjustment variables. The associations were verified by using the Chi-square test and multinomial regression, and the results are presented in Odds Ratio and 95% Confidence Interval. The prevalence of mild and moderate to severe symptoms of anxiety was 32.7% and 23.4%, respectively. 86.9% of the sample was considered physically active and 76.2% active in household tasks measured. The multivariate logistic model indicated that being active in household activities and having a diagnosis of depression increase the likelihood of moderate to severe anxiety symptoms (OR=2.57; 95% CI: 1.04–6.39) e (OR=5.21; 95% CI: 1.92–14.12), respectively. The association between moderate to severe anxiety symptoms and higher levels of domestic physical activity indicates the need for actions and policies focused on promoting health in general, and physical activity during leisure time, specifically.
