SUMMARY:

Non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, neoplasms, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes mellitus represent a major challenge to global health. In 2019, these diseases were responsible for 738,371 deaths in Brazil, of which 41.8% occurred prematurely. NCDs are influenced by a variety of risk factors, classified as non-modifiable, such as sex, age and genetics, or modifiable, including smoking, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol consumption, and an unhealthy diet characterized by inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables. The present master's dissertation project aims to analyze regional differences in risk behaviors related to non-communicable diseases and the factors associated with these behaviors in the Brazilian population aged 30 to 69 years in 2019. The choice of this age group is justified by aligning with the focus of the Strategic Action Plan for Addressing NCDs and representing a productive phase of life in which premature deaths have a significant impact on public health and socioeconomic development. To achieve this goal, data from the 2019 National Health Survey will be used. The dependent variables of the study are: smoking, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol consumption, and inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables. The independent variables consist of sociodemographic and health characteristics. The statistical analysis will be stratified by geographic region using robust variance Poisson regression models to explore the associations between behavioral risk factors and independent variables, estimating the crude and adjusted prevalence ratios, together with the respective 95% confidence intervals.
