| Abstract |
BackgroundDespite recent advances in surveillance of physical activity, data on time trends of physical activity in low and middle-income countries are lacking. This study describes time trends in physical activity and television viewing between 2006 and 2012 among Brazilian adults.MethodsData from 371,271 adult participants (18¿+¿years) in the Surveillance System for Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Illnesses using Telephone Survey (VIGITEL) were analysed. Time trends in leisure-time physical activity (¿5 days/wk; ¿ 30 min/day), transportation physical activity (using bicycle or walking for¿¿¿30 minutes per day as a means of transportation to/from work) and proportion of participants spending more than three hours per day watching television were analysed. Annual changes according to sex, age and years of schooling were calculated.ResultsThere was an increase in leisure-time physical activity from 12.8% in 2006 to 14.9% in 2012 (annual increase of 1.9%; p¿<¿0.001). This increase was more marked in younger participants and those with high-school education. Transportation physical activity decreased 12.9% per year (p¿<¿0.001) from 2006 to 2008 and 5.8% per year from 2009 to 2012 (p¿<¿0.001). The annual decline in television viewing time was 5% (p¿<¿0.001) between 2006 and 2009 and 2% (p¿=¿0.16) between 2010 and 2012.ConclusionNational survey data from Brazil indicate that leisure-time physical activity appears to be increasing, while television viewing time appears to be decreasing in recent years. However, transportation physical activity has been declining. These data are important for informing national public health policies. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 October 2016.
All research outputs
#13,178,355
of 22,760,687 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity
#1,670
of 1,925 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#107,027
of 230,675 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity
#38
of 46 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,760,687 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,925 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 28.4. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 230,675 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 46 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
