PY - 2016 DA - 2016/06/23 TI - Prevalence of physical inactivity and associated socioeconomic indicators in indigenous Xavante communities in Central Brazil JO - BMC Nutrition SP - 37 VL - 2 IS - 1 AB - Among numerous factors linked to nutrition transition globally, physical inactivity has been identified as a key triggering factor. At present, little is known about physical activity patterns among the Indigenous population in Brazil, which exhibits higher prevalence rates of excess weight than the non-Indigenous population. The present study aims to characterize physical inactivity and associated socioeconomic factors among members of two Xavante villages in Central Brazil.
