Objetivo
Avaliar e comparar o estilo de vida de Adventistas do Sétimo Dia e de não adventistas de uma comunidade no município de Cotia, São Paulo.
Métodos
Foram estudados 238 sujeitos maiores de 18 anos (média de 37,3 ± 11,5 anos): 130 homens (54,6%) e 108 mulheres (45,4%). Os sujeitos foram selecionados aleatoriamente e preencheram um questionário com dados demográficos, antropométricos e de estilo de vida. Também foi calculado o índice de massa corporal e a idade biológica.
Resultados
Adventistas (51,2%) e não adventistas (48,8%) não diferiram quanto aos hábitos de repouso e frequência de exercício físico. Os adventistas apresentaram menor prevalência de tabagismo (p=0,009) e de consumo de bebidas alcoólicas (p<0,001). Além disso, eles tinham o hábito de tomar desjejum com maior frequência (p<0,001) e comer menos entre as refeições (p<0,001) quando comparados aos não adventistas. Os adventistas também apresentaram menor idade biológica (-1,5 anos versos -0,8, p=0,001), mas não houve diferença significativa em relação ao índice de massa corporal.
Entretanto, na análise por regressão linear múltipla, após controle por sexo e idade, ser adventista estava independentemente associado a um menor índice de massa corporal (p=0,03).
Conclusão
Os Adventistas do Sétimo Dia do município de Cotia apresentaram melhores hábitos e menor idade biológica quando comparados aos não adventistas.
