The Poisson multivariate analysis was chosen to analyze the statistical data. RESULTS The prevalence of physical inactivity was 49,6% (CI 95% 46,14 - 53,06); with higher standards between females (girls: 59,9%; boys: 39%, p < 0,001). With the multivariate analyses, it was verified a inverse association between physical inactivity and family economical condition that was classified in D/E worse economical levels either among males (PR = 0,73, CI 95%, 0,54 - 0,046), as among females (PR = 0,79; CI 95%; 0,66 - 0,96). In complementary analysis according to domains of physical activity, It was observed a significant decrease of physical inactivity in displacement domain between teenagers of lower economical levels (Boys - Classes B1/B2/C1 = 20,6%, C2 = 11%, D/E = 6%, p = 0,001; Girls - Classes B1/B2/C1 = 26,7%, C2 = 12,5%, D/E = 10,8%, p = 0,003).
