AB  - BACKGROUND: We evaluated associations between use of public places for physical 
      activity and active leisure (PAAL) and their distances from subjects' homes and 
      indicators of overweight and obesity, among schoolchildren from different 
      socioeconomic levels, in the city of Florianopolis, Brazil. DESIGN AND SETTING: 
      Cross-sectional study conducted on a sample of 2,152 schoolchildren aged 7 to 14 
      years, enrolled at 30 public and private schools. METHODS: The exposure variables 
      were the use of public places for PAAL in the neighborhood and their distance 
      from schoolchildren's homes. The outcomes were body mass index (BMI) and waist 
      circumference (WC). Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were 
      conducted according to income strata. RESULTS: Among the schoolchildren from 
      low-income families, living closer to parks/playgrounds was associated with lower 
      BMI (beta = -2.15; 95% confidence interval, CI = -2.53; -1.77) and lower WC (beta = 
      -0.11 95% CI = -0.17; -0.05), while living at these distances from football 
      pitches was associated with higher BMI (beta = 1.73; 95% CI = 0.31; 3.15) and larger 
      WC measurements (beta = 0.03; 95% CI = 0.005; 0.14). Among the schoolchildren in 
      low-income groups, living at an intermediate distance from beaches was associated 
      with lower BMI (beta = -1.10; 95% CI = -1.61; -0.59). CONCLUSION: Living closer to 
      parks/playgrounds was associated with lower BMI and WC among schoolchildren from 
      low-income families. Living closer to football pitches was associated with higher 
      BMI and WC among these schoolchildren. Living at intermediate distances from 
      beaches was associated with lower BMI among these schoolchildren.
