This study examined physical activity and dietary patterns in Brazilian adults (50 and plus) as a function of sex and age. Data from the second wave of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-BRAZIL; n = 9,949) were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Physical activity was significantly (p<0.001) associated with sex and age. More males reported engaging in more than once a week in vigorous (12.1%) and moderate physical activity (22%) compared to females (8.7% and 19.1%, respectively); while more females (44.6%) reported engaging in light physical activity. Similarly, more younger adults (50-59) reported engaging in more than once a week in vigorous (13.6%), moderate (23%), and light (44.7%) physical activity compared to older age groups. Logistic regression demonstrated that females were 16% more likely to be physically inactive (<150 min/week) than males (OR=1.16; 1.07-1.26), and adults aged 80+ were 2.13 times more likely to be inactive than those aged 50-59 (OR=2.13; 1.82-2.50). Diet was also significantly (p<0.05) associated with sex and age. Females were significantly less likely to report low vegetable (OR=0.76; 0.66-0.88) and fruit consumption (OR=0.84; 0.75-0.95), but more likely to report low red meat intake (OR=1.30; 1.14-1.50), compared to males. Older adults (60 and plus) were significantly (p<0.05) less likely to report low vegetable (OR range:0.72-0.83), fruit (OR range: 0.56–0.83) and juice consumption (OR range: 0.66-0.73).
