0896/2012 - CONSUMO DE BEBIDA ALCOÓLICA, FATORES SÓCIO ECONÔMICOS E EXCESSO DE PESO: UM ESTUDO TRANSVERSAL NO SUL DO BRASIL ALCOHOLIC DRINK CONSUMPTION, ECNOMICS AND SOCIAL FACTORS AND EXCESSIVE WEIGHT: A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY
O objetivo do estudo foi investigar o consumo de álcool e verificar sua associação com escolaridade, renda e excesso de peso em uma amostra de mulheres. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com 317 mulheres. Aplicou-se um questionário padronizado e pré codificado para determinar a quantidade, frequência e tipo de bebida alcoólica consumida. As mulheres foram classificadas em dois grandes grupos, conforme a quantidade de bebida consumida. O primeiro grupo “Consumo de Álcool”, formado por duas subcategorias: (1) mulheres que bebiam no mínimo 10g/dia de etanol; (2) mulheres que referiram não consumir 10g/dia de etanol e as que beberam em algum período da vida ou previamente, mas que o deixaram de fazer. O segundo grupo, “Contato com Álcool”, foi composto por três subcategorias: (1) bebedoras (mulheres que bebiam no mínimo 10g/dia de etanol), (2) ex-bebedoras (já beberam regularmente, mas deixaram de consumir a bebida) e (3) não bebedoras. 30% das investigadas eram bebedoras e 36,6% se declararam ex-bebedoras. 39,4% das participantes tinham sobrepeso e 34,3% eram obesas. As investigadas com maior grau de instrução consumiam maior quantidade de álcool, quando comparadas às mulheres com menor escolaridade (analfabetas) que consumam menos (p=0,010). São necessários estudos com delineamentos prospectivos para que as associações de causa e efeito possam ser esclarecidas.

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.
