这项研究的目的是评估健康的行为是否决定采取个人保护措施来对抗新冠肺炎。这些数据来自巴西老龄问题纵向研究(巴西老龄问题纵向研究)的参与者之间的电话调查，该倡议包括代表50岁或50岁以上人口的全国样本。评估的结果是三项保护措施(过去一周没有离开家，离家时戴口罩，回家时消毒双手)，解释变量是健康行为(吸烟、饮酒、水果和蔬菜消费以及体力活动)。这些关联通过Logistic模型进行评估，考虑了潜在混杂因素的调整。共有5827人参与了分析；32.2%的人在最近一周没有出门，离家的人中，97.5%的人使用了口罩，97.3%的人回家时消毒了手。在推荐的水平上进行体力活动与前一周不出门的几率较低有关。曾经吸烟的人更有可能使用口罩，而那些进行体育锻炼的人不太可能采取这种保护措施。低风险饮酒的人消毒双手的机会更高。旨在更多地采取保护措施抗击新冠状病毒的行动应考虑到脆弱群体的存在，这可以通过人口中其他健康行为的分布来确定。
The objective of this study was to evaluate whether healthy behaviours determine the adoption of individual protective measures to fight COVID-19. The data were obtained from the ELSI-COVID-19 initiative, a telephone survey conducted among participants in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil), which includes a national sample representative of the population aged 50 years or older. The outcomes evaluated were three protective measures (not having left home in the past week, wearing a mask when leaving home, and sanitizing hands when returning home), and the explanatory variables were health behaviours (smoking, alcohol consumption, consumption of fruits and vegetables, and physical activity). The associations were evaluated by logistic models, considering adjustments for potential confounding factors. A total of 5,827 individuals participated in the analysis; 32.2% did not leave home in the last week, and among those who left home, 97.5% used a face mask, and 97.3% sanitized their hands when they returned home. The practice of physical activity at the recommended levels was associated with a lower chance of not leaving home in the previous week. Ex-smokers were more likely to use a mask, and those who practised physical activity were less likely to adopt this protective measure. Individuals with low-risk alcohol consumption had a higher chance of sanitizing their hands. Actions aimed at increasing the adoption of protective measures to fight the new coronavirus should consider the existence of vulnerable groups, which can be identified by the distribution of other health behaviours in the population.
