Sociodemographic inequalities in non communicable chronic disease risk and protection factors: telephone survey in Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. Epidemiol. Serv.

OBJECTIVE: to identify and analyze sociodemographic disparities in health risk and protection. METHODS: this was a population-based cross-sectional study conducted in Campinas-SP with 2,015 adults (aged ≥18 years) interviewed via Telephone-based Surveillance of Chronic Disease Risk and Protection Factors in 2008; risk and protection factor prevalence and prevalence ratios and respective 95% confidence intervals were estimated from a probabilistic sample of people with residential telephone lines. RESULTS: inequalities were found in the assessed risk and protection factors; smokers and former smokers accounted for 17.1% and 20.7% of the interviewees respectively, some 47.0% were overweight, and only 13.4% reported physical activity; in general risk factors were more prevalent among men and individuals with less education. CONCLUSION: the different health behaviors observed contribute to priority setting, resource allocation and program design aimed at reducing sociodemographic health inequalities in this population.
