摘要：This paper aimed to identify factors associated with adherence to the Academia da Cidade Program (ACP) in Recife. It is a cross-sectional study developed in 20 ACP centers; involving 289 users (93.7% female; 67.1% aged 30-59 years) and 244 former users (91.4% female; 63.5% aged 30-59 years) of the program. We used a self-administered questionnaire for data collection. The dependent variable was adherence to the ACP (starting and staying in it for at least three months); and the independent variables were sociodemographic aspects; participation in the ACP; and variables related to the reasons that led participants to start attending the ACP. For data analysis; we used descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression; in which Odds Ratio (OR) was the measure of association. The results of the multivariable analysis revealed that participants aged 30 or older (OR = 7.18; 95%CI: 2.57-20.03); unemployed (OR = 1.62; 95%CI: 1.01-2.59); who had been attending the ACP for 25 months or longer (OR = 7.41; 95%CI: 3.80-14.46); whose weekly participation frequency was higher than three days (OR = 7.09; 95%CI: 1.81-27.80); and who had started attending the ACP to improve their physical performance (OR = 1.87; 95%CI: 1.17-3.00) and due to the team’s and teacher’s confidence and commitment (OR = 2.78; 95%CI: 1.37-5.64) were more likely to adhere to the ACP. Therefore; the factors associated with adherence to the ACP were related to sociodemographic characteristics; users’ participation in the ACP and reasons that led users to start attending the program.
