| Abstract | This study aimed to investigate differences in health behaviors as
a function of gender and sexual orientation in the ELSA-Brasil cohort. Data were
collected using a multidimensional questionnaire on health-related behaviors. The
sample consisted of 10,314 participants, each of whom was in a stable relationship.
Individuals in same-sex relationships were more likely to smoke, to spend more of
their leisure-time in front of a screen and to sleep longer. When the behaviors were
analyzed as a function of sexual orientation and gender, women in heterosexual
relationships were less likely to smoke or to drink in excess, got more hours of sleep
and spent less leisure time in front of a screen. On the other hand, they were less
likely to exercise. These findings should contribute towards preventing chronic
diseases and promoting health in people with different sexual orientations in Brazil
and in other similar settings. | pt_BR |
