Introduction: Peru has a large prison population of roughly seventy-six thousand and one hundred eighty inmates (76 180). The mains morbidities of this population is a high prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, chronic pulmonary disease, anxiety, and depression. The lack of physical activity during imprisonment is one of the main risk factors that increase the risk of developing or worsening the symptoms of these chronic diseases. Objective: To compare sports practicing prevalence and the self-reporting of chronic diseases among the prison population in Peru. Materials and Method: We did a cross-sectional study using the first National Prison Census database (2016) of the National Institute of Statistics and Information, and we performed a Poisson regression model to determine the factors associated with sports practice. Results: Chronic diseases such as pulmonary failures, diabetes, anxiety, cancer, high blood pressure (HBP) and depression were statistically associated with physical activity (p< 0,001). The adjusted Poisson model showed that inmates that self-report with depression who self-report chronic pulmonary diseases, diabetes, HBP and cancer were associated with less probability of practicing sports. However, inmates who self-report depression were associated with more probability of practicing sports. Conclusion: Self-reporting chronic diseases were associated with lack of practice sports. It is very important to implement health programs that promote sports activities according to inmates health situation.
