Gender-dependent effect of physical activity on the risk of incident multimorbidity during the COVID-19 pandemic: Findings from the PAMPA cohort, Brazil

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association between physical activity (PA) and the risk of incident multimorbidity in adults from southern Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic. Study design: Prospective Study.

Methods: We analyzed data from the Prospective Study about Physical and Mental Health (PAMPA) cohort, a longitudinal study of adults living in southern Brazil. The baseline assessment occurred in June/July 2020, and further data collection occurred 6 and 12 months later. Participants with no multimorbidity (2 or more simultaneous chronic conditions) at baseline were included in the present analysis. PA weekly volume, status, type, and place were also assessed at baseline.

Results: Over one year, 30.8 % of participants developed multimorbidity. Men participants, classified as physically active before or during the pandemic, had reduced risk of multimorbidity. Practicing PA at home reduced the risk in both genders, wh ile PA at and out of home only reduced the risk in women participants. Endurance and combined activities reduced the risk among women, while strength activities reduced the risk in both genders. Conclusions: PA reduced the risk of incident multimorbidity among adults in southern Brazil, with different parameters moderating this effect between genders. © 2024 The Royal Society for Public Health
