Objective: To analyze the association of isolated, combined and integrated compliance with recommendations for physical activity, sedentary behavior and sleep with health perception in adolescents. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, school-based epidemiological study with 576 adolescents (14-17 years old) enrolled in public schools in the Metropolitan Region of Recife, Pernambuco. Data were obtained through the Global School-Based Student Health Survey questionnaire. Binary logistic regressions were performed to analyze the association between compliance with recommendations and health perception. Results: Isolated compliance with recommendations was 29.7% for physical activity, 23.8% for sedentary behavior and 27.3% for sleep. Combined compliance with recommendations was 8.5%, 6.1% and 8% for "Physical Activity + Sedentary Behavior", "Sedentary Behavior + Sleep" and "Sleep + Physical Activity", respectively. Meeting two or more recommendations was associated with higher odds of having a "positive" health perception (OR = 2.03; 95%CI 1.19;3.48). Meeting the physical activity recommendation (OR = 1.59; 95%CI: 1.01;2.50), the combined recommendation of sedentary behavior + sleep (OR = 2.42; 95%CI 1.01;6.05) and meeting the combined recommendation of physical activity + sleep (OR = 3.35; 95%CI 1.27;8.84) demonstrated an association with a positive health perception. Conclusion: Meeting two or more recommendations, meeting only the physical activity recommendation or the combination of sedentary behavior + sleep and physical activity + sleep is associated with higher odds of having a positive health perception.
