The Cerrado biome within the Chapada dos Guimarães National Park (PNCG) is frequently affected by wildfires, which can compromise the health of the local population and negatively impact the practice of physical activities.This study aimed to identify the socioeconomic, demographic, and health profile, as well as the level of physical activity and associated factors, of the population living in the vicinity of the PNCG, who are exposed to the effects of wildfires. This is a cross-sectional study with residents treated at Family Health Program units in the city of Chapada dos Guimarães, Mato Grosso. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, lifestyle habits, and physical activity level were collected using validated questionnaires. Women (92.5%), aged 18 to 44 years (80.4%), of mixed race (73.4%), and from socioeconomic classes C, D, and E (79.9%) predominated. The main comorbidities were hypertension (25.1%) and hypercholesterolemia (10.6%). Associations were found between the presence of diabetes and the level of physical activity, as well as between relative humidity and the level of physical activity (p < 0.05). The profile studied demonstrates a predominance of women, young, self-declared mixed race, physically active, with low income, and the presence of comorbidities such as hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The presence of diabetes is associated with lower physical activity, and environmental conditions, such as higher humidity, also appear to negatively influence exercise. The importance of public policies that address social and environmental factors to protect the population's health is reinforced.
