SUMMARY:

Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), such as cardiovascular diseases, neoplasms, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes mellitus, represent a significant 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 several risk factors, which can be 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 intake of fruits and vegetables. In this context, the aim of this study is to analyze the regional differences in risk behaviors related to NCDs and the factors associated with these behaviors in the Brazilian population aged 30 to 69, in 2019. The choice of this age group is justified because it is aligned with the focus of the Strategic Action Plan for the Control of NCDs and because it represents a productive phase of life, in which premature deaths have a significant impact on public health and socioeconomic development. Data from the 2019 National Health Survey were analyzed, considering the following dependent variables: smoking, physical inactivity, excessive alcohol consumption, and inadequate intake of fruits and vegetables. The independent variables consisted of a set of sociodemographic and health characteristics of the target population. Poisson regression models with robust variance were applied to explore the associations between behavioral risk factors and independent variables, estimating crude and adjusted prevalence ratios, along with their respective 95% confidence intervals.
