Resumen en ingles
It has been estimated that over 50% of the premature deaths occurring in Western countries can be attributed to causes rooted in lifestyle. In turn, leading a healthy lifestyle has also been associated with a wide range of psychosocial factors. Today, it is known that these differ among men and women. The present article aimed to identify, from a gender-based perspective, the psychosocial factors associated with healthy lifestyles in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) cohort, the largest study concerning adult health conducted in Latin America to date. Design This cross-sectional study was conducted using
ELSA-Brasil baseline data, collected between 2008 and
2010.
Setting Six Brazilian public higher education and research
institutions.
Participants The ELSA-Brasil cohort consists of
approximately 15 000 employees (8218 women and 6887
men), both currently working and retired.
Main outcome measures The lifestyle indicator was
constructed by summing the scores attributed to four
different behaviours.
Results The women of the ELSA-Brasil cohort have
healthier lifestyles than men. In women, strong
associations were found between a healthy lifestyle and
age 60 years or older, Asian race and university level of
education or higher. In men, being 60 years or older, of
Asian or Caucasian race, having a high-school equivalent
level of education or higher, being retired, having a
housekeeper, having a good or very good self-perception
of health and being satisfied with body image were the
psychosocial factors associated with leading a healthy
lifestyle.
