Objective: To identify sociodemographic factors associated with the level of activity of military police officers at work.
Method: From August to December 2022, a cross-sectional, analytical study was carried out with 432 military police officers working in a city in the interior of Bahia, Brazil. Data was collected using a Google® Forms form containing sociodemographic and clinical information and a validated instrument on physical activity. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, association tests, and ordinal logistic regression.
Trabalho (p< 0,001) e apresentou chances superiores nas categorias ativo e muito ativo.
Results: There was a predominance of males, 355 (82.35%), black race/color, 376 (87.04%), complete higher education, 206 (47.69%), and with a partner, 354 (81.94%). Gender was statistically associated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire classification in the work section (p< 0.001) and showed higher odds in the active and very active categories.
Conclusion: The study could contribute data to new public policies that address gender issues, social factors, and lifestyles of this vital group of workers.
