Introduction: Compliance with the recommendations to perform moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) of 60 minutes daily has important benefits for the health of the child, preventing the development of chronic noncommunicable diseases. It has been proposed that parental perceptions of neighborhood safety (PPSV) may encourage children's MVPA, however, the evidence is not conclusive. Objective: To determine whether there is an association between PPSV and the child's compliance with MVPA recommendations. Study design: Cross-sectional observational study, secondary analysis of data from the minor cohort of the third round of the "Young Lives" study developed in Peru in 2009. Methods: Prevalence ratios crudes (RP) and adjusted (RPa) were estimated using generalized linear models (GLM) of the Binomial family with a "log" link function between the child's compliance with the recommendations to perform MVPA and the PPSV, considering adjustment variables such as paternal social capital, age and educational level of the mother or father, child's overweight/obesity status, child's sex, marital status, socioeconomic level, number of household members, crime suffered by any household member and area of residence. Results: A total of 1767 children and their parents were included in the analysis. The average age of the children was 8 years (SD 0.3) and the prevalence of compliance with MVPA recommendations was 33%. In the adjusted analysis, no association was found between child compliance with MVPA recommendations and PPSV (RPa=0.89, 95% CI:0.66-1.19), however, children living in the rural residence area had 30% higher prevalence of compliance with MVPA recommendations (RPa=1.30, 95% CI:1.09 - 1). 55), while children living in households with members who were victims of crime or had parents who participated in an organization in their community were 25% (RPa=0.75, 95% CI:0.58 - 0.98) and 19% (RPa=0.81, 95% CI:0.68 - 0.96) less likely to comply with the MVPA recommendations, respectively. Conclusions: No association was found between meeting with recommendations to perform MVPA in children and increased PPSV, more studies are needed to explore specific contexts of PPSV in MVPA in children.
