2%; 95%CI 13.1 - 19.3) when compared to the low risk (28.2%; 95%CI 27.0 - 29.4 and 6%; 95%CI 5.4 - 6.7, respectively).
 
  The adult population living in areas at high risk for health had a higher prevalence of hypertension and diabetes compared to those with a lower risk.

  To analyze sociodemographic and lifestyle factors associated with screen-based sedentary behavior (watching television ≥ 3 hours/day) among adult individuals in Brazil.
 
  Quantitative analysis of ten editions of the cross-sectional health survey VIGITEL, representative at the population level. Individuals from states' capitals living in households with land-line telephone were randomly selected and interviewed with a structured questionnaire, through the telephone. A multivariate logistic regression model was estimated for identification of factors associated with screen-based sedentary behavior.
 
  There was stability in trends referring to prevalence of sedentary behavior from 2008 to 2017. Prevalence of sedentary behavior was higher between individuals with unhealthier lifestyles consumption of < two in natura food items (vegetables, fruits, and beans) per day (26.73% [95%CI 25.2 - 28.31]) in comparison with ≥ two items per day (23.79% [95%CI 21.92 - 25.77]); consumption of soft drinks ≥ five days per week (31.24% [95%CI 29.58 - 32.95]) than < five days per week (23.82% [95%CI 22.2 - 25.52]); and practice of < 150 minutes of physical activity per week (28.2% [95%CI 26.17 - 30.33]) than ≥ 150 minutes per week (22.54% [95%CI 21.27 - 23.86]). Regular consumption of in natura food items (OR = 0.984), practice of physical activity (OR = 0.798), and living in richer municipality (OR = 0.826) represented protective factors in relation to screen-based sedentary behavior, whilst regular consumption of soft drinks (OR = 1.440), smoking (OR = 1.375) and alcohol abuse (OR = 1.334) represented risk factors.
 
  The adoption of screen-based sedentary behavior among adult individuals in Brazil presented significant association with modifiable behavioral factors in the period 2008-2017.

  To estimate the prevalence of fruit and vegetable consumption, practice of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and binge drinking for small areas of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais.
 
  Ecological study conducted with data from the Surveillance System for Risk and Protection Factors for Noncommunicable Diseases by Telephone Survey (Sistema de Vigilância de Fatores de Risco e Proteção para Doenças Crônicas por Inquérito Telefônico - Vigitel).  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/zongertinib.html  The prevalence of risk and protection factors from 2006 to 2013 were estimated and the 95% confidence intervals calculated. "Small areas" corresponded to the municipality division into four strata of health risk classification given by the Health Vulnerability Index 2012 (Índice de Vulnerabilidade à Saúde - IVS).
 
  The mean prevalences for the period were about 42% of regular intake of fruit and vegetable, 34.7% of leisure time activity and 20.4% of binge drinking. The prevalence of fruit and vegetable consumption was higher in low-risk areas (58.5%; 95%CI 56.8 - 60.2) and lower in very high-risk areas (32.3%; 95%CI 27.7 - 36.9). The practice of LTPA was higher in low-risk areas (40.8%; 95%CI 38.9 - 42.8) and lower in very high risk (25.2%; 95%CI 20.6 - 29.9). Binge drinking was higher in low-risk areas (22.9%; 95%CI 21.7 - 24.2) compared to very high-risk areas (14.3%; 95%CI 11.4 - 17.3).
 
  It was identified a gradient in the distribution of risk and protection factors for noncommunicable diseases in Belo Horizonte according to the risk classification. This information can support programs aimed at reducing health inequalities, especially in the most vulnerable areas.

  To analyze the spatial distribution of the prevalence of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) in a Brazilian urban area and its association with the characteristics of the physical and social environments.
 
  A cross-sectional study conducted with data from the Surveillance System for Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases from the years 2008-2010, in Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The outcome was the practice of LTPA and the independent variables were residential and population density, the density of places for physical activity, homicide rates, average family income, and health vulnerability index. The spatial scanning technique was employed to identify clusters with a high prevalence of PA at leisure time. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare variables inside and outside the cluster.
 
  The sample included 5,779 participants, 33.3% (SE = 0.73) of whom reported sufficient PA during leisure time. We identified a significant cluster of a high prevalence of LTPA. After adjustments, the cluster presented a radius of 3,041.99 meters and 603 individuals, and 293 (48.6%) of them reported sufficient LTPA. The probability of performing sufficient LTPA in the cluster was 27% higher (PR = 1.27; p = 0.002) than in the coverage areas of primary healthcare units outside the cluster. There was a higher density of places for LTPA practice, higher population and residential density, and higher family income in the cluster.
 
  The results evidenced a cluster of high prevalence of LTPA in a privileged physical and socioeconomic environment in Belo Horizonte, even after adjustments, demonstrating that reducing inequalities can increase LTPA.
