RESUMO:

Lifestyle is defined as the set of habits and customs, way of life, influenced and modified by the process of socialization, which has effect for health. In adolescence at the same time that the individuals experiment biological, cognitive, emotional and social changes, they experience an important moment for the implementation of new practices and behaviors related to lifestyle. This thesis presents as an objective to characterize the lifestyle patterns, measured through an latent indicator to the observaded data, concerning the behavior related to diet, physical activity, use of alcoholics drinks and tobacco, and identify the lifestyle patterns and their determinants in a population of adolescents. To achieve the proposed objectives, this thesis was developed through three studies: 1. Lifestyle patterns: a review of the use of latent class analysis (LCA) to measure lifestyle in international literature; 2. Lifestyle patterns in adolescence: a study of LCA; 3. Determinants of adolescent lifestyle patterns. Methods: The first study was developed from a systematic review of the international literature, while the other two were cross-sectional studies using baseline data from the PROSE project, with a sample of 2,212 high school adolescents from ten municipalities of Bahia. The analyzes considered the study design with complex sampling, being applied latent class analysis (LCA). Results: The first study demonstrated, given the complexity of using the lifestyle construct in empirical studies, that there is still no clear evidence on how behaviors aggregate, with a wide variety of behaviors and indicators used by the studies, futher more the predominance of behaviors related with physical activity, diet, alcohol and tobacco use in the lifestyles clusters. The analyzes considered the study design, being applied LCA. Results: The first study demonstrated the complexity of using the lifestyle construct in empirical studies but there is still no clear evidence on how behaviors aggregate. The wide variety of behaviors and indicators used in the studies contributed to the difficulty of comparing and systematizing the literature. The second study pointed out that the lifestyle construct differs by gender, although for both they were presented by three latent classes: Class 1, "healthy" (with unconditional probability of 43.5% for women and 73,6% for boys); Class 2, "Less healthy in terms of physical activity and diet" lifestyle (49.8% for women and 15.9% for boys); and Class 3, “Consumers of alcohol and tobacco” (6.6% for women 6.6% and 10.5% for boys). The third study identified risk factors that increased the chances of adopting unhealthy standards: for class 2, negative self-evaluation of health for both gender and presenting health problems or nonspecific symptoms for boys. For class 3, the risk factors, among girls, were working and presenting health problems or nonspecific symptoms, and, among boys, they were late in school and having a smoking father or mother with high alcohol consumption. alcohol. The determinants that decreased the chances of belonging to the less healthy classes were: for class 2, to present sports courts or exercise places in the neighborhood, for both gender, and among girls, to have more friends, and to have religion. for class 3 between both gender. Conclusions: The lifestyle construct has been studied by suitable methods for the combination or aggregation of behaviors, although the literature presents a wide variety regarding the behaviors and indicators, making it difficult. the comparison between studies. Adolescent lifestyles are differentiated by gender, as their determinants. Further research and longitudinal studies are recommended to better understand the determinants of lifestyles and changes in behavioral patterns throughout life cycles.
