Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate alcohol consumption and its association with educational level, income and weight in a sample of women. This was a cross-sectional study with 317 women. We applied a standardized and pre-encoded questionnaire to determine the alcohol amount consumption, frequency and type of alcoholic beverage. Women were classified in two groups according to the number of drinks consumed. The first group "Alcohol Consumption", comprised of two subcategories: (1) women who drank at least 10g/day ethanol, (2) women who reported not consuming 10g/day ethanol. The second group, "Contact with Alcohol," was composed of three subcategories: (1) drinkers (women who drank at least 10g/dia ethanol), (2) ex-drinkers (already drank regularly, but stopped consuming the drink) and (3) non-drinkers. 30% of drinkers were investigated and 36.6% reported they were ex-drinkers. 39.4% of total sample was overweight and 34.3% obese. We found that women with higher educational level consumed a larger amount of alcohol compared to women with less education (illiterate) that consume less (p = 0.010). There were no associations between family income and alcohol use. Studies are needed with prospective designs that associations of cause and effect can be clarified.
