Abstract:

Cross-sectional study with 2.909 participants (≥ 18 years)the baseline of The Cohort of Universities of Minas Gerais (CUME), Brazil, who checked the association between consumption of alcoholic drinks and being overweight. We collected sociodemographic data, lifestyle, eating habits, anthropometrical and clinical conditions through virtual questionnaire. It was considered body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2 as overweight. The daily consumption of alcoholic beverages was valued in total at grams (alcohol) and second (beer, wine and distilled) in milliliters. The prevalence of overweight and alcohol consumption was equal to 40,8% and 73,6%, respectively. The alcohol intake was associated with excess weight, with a tendency to increase in prevalence the higher your daily consumption. There was a significant trend of increasing prevalence of overweight the higher was the beer consumption (p = 0,038 trend), a fact not noted for other types of drinks (p ≥ 0,05). The need to reduce the widely accepted view that mild to moderate alcohol consumption is not harmful to health, in order to adopt caution in this proposition. The influence of alcohol intake on weight gain should be considered in public health policies and alcohol control.
