Leisure-time preferences were surveyed in three populations which are potential sources for future space crews. A questionnaire was designed to provide rating scale measures of preferences for various spacecraft recreational equipment items, leisure-time activity categories, content within activity categories, and various kinds of snack items. The questionnaire was administered to samples from three populations: test pilots, military pilots, and aerospace engineers and scientists. Statistical analyses of the obtained data indicated that preferences for types of spacecraft leisure-time equipment were similar in the three populations. However, certain significant differences were obtained among the populations in terms of the amount of time spent in earthbound leisure-time activities. Implications for space mission off-duty concepts are discussed.

RESUMO: Objetivo: Este trabalho investigou os fatores associados à atividade física em quatro diferentes domínios e o desempenho de atividades sociais em 2.344 idosos (72,3 ± 5,5 anos; 65,6% mulheres) sem déficit cognitivo, residentes na comunidade de seis localidades brasileiras. Método: Uma versão adaptada do Minnesota Leisure Time Activity Questionnaire foi utilizada para avaliar a atividade física em quatro diferentes domínios. Um inventário de atividade social foi desenvolvido para a pesquisa. Idade, gênero e renda familiar foram avaliados por autorrelato. Foram realizadas comparações de frequências e análises de regressão logística. Resultados: Todas as variáveis sociodemográficas demonstraram afetar o perfil de engajamento em atividade da amostra. Ter maior renda familiar comprovou associação a nível elevado de atividade física no lazer, no trabalho e no deslocamento, resultado apoiado pela literatura. O gênero associado a alto nível de atividade variou de acordo com o domínio específico do indicador de atividade analisado. Ter menos idade confirmou ser associado a nível mais elevado de atividade em todos os indicadores integrados à idade, evidenciando o avanço na idade como a grande barreira ao desempenho de atividades físicas e sociais na velhice. Conclusão: Possibilitar o engajamento dos idosos com mais idade é o grande desafio de políticas públicas de fomento ao envelhecimento ativo.

AbstractBackgroundIncreased rates of overweight/obesity have been reported in recent years in developed countries. This population study of healthy subjects evaluated the changes in overweight/obesity prevalence in 2003, compared with 1993, and determined the association of age, sex and leisure-time activity with body mass index (BMI), fat-free mass index (FFMI) and fat mass index (FMI).DesignTwo transversal samples of convenience.ParticipantsHealthy volunteers (1993, n = 802; 2003, n = 1631).MethodsFat-free mass was determined using the bioelectrical impedance multiple regression equation. Multivariable linear regression, including confounding variables (age, sex, leisure-time activity), was used to model the body composition evolution between the 1993 and the 2003 subjects.ResultsBMI and FMI were higher in 2003 than in 1993, P < 0.001. FFMI was not higher in 2003 than in 1993, P = 0.38. More subjects were overweight/obese in 2003 than in 1993 (27.5 versus 17.2%, chi-square P < 0.001), and had a high FFMI (30.2 versus 21.8%, chi-square P < 0.001) and high FMI (28.0 versus 20.3%, chi-square P < 0.001). Multivariate linear regressions showed that leisure-time activity was negatively, and sex, age and inclusion year were positively associated with BMI, FFMI and FMI (the exception was a negative association with sex) (P < 0.001).ConclusionOverweight prevalence increased between 1993 and 2003 in a Swiss city, and was associated with a higher fat mass. This observation remained statistically significant after adjustment for age, sex and leisure-time activity.
