Abstract:
The objective of this study was to investigate the aggregation of four leisure behaviors and the association between the number of leisure behaviors and common mental disorders (CMD). A cross-sectional study was carried out with a representative sample of healthcare workers of Brazil. The aggregation of the types of leisure activities was assessed by comparing the observed prevalence with the expected prevalence. The logistic regression analysis evaluated the association between the number of leisure behaviors and CMD. Leisure behaviors tended to show aggregation (<0.05). The multivariate analysis showed a negative association between the number of leisure behaviors and the CMD, only among women. The results indicate that the association between the number of leisure behaviors and the CMD is different depending on sex.
