Abstract(s)
É objetivo deste estudo caraterizar e explorar o consumo de álcool (cerveja, vinho e
bebidas brancas) numa amostra portuguesa de 68 indivíduos em idade adulta jovem, em função
das variáveis sociodemográficas género e idade. Constataram-se percentagens de consumo
superiores a 50%, na globalidade da amostra (51,5%), no género masculino (70%) e no grupo
etário 22-45 anos (55,6%). No consumo por tipo de bebida, registam-se valores mais elevados
no vinho, seguido de cerveja e finalmente de bebidas brancas, no grupo etário mais novo (17-
22 anos), enquanto nos mais velhos (≥22 anos) a cerveja passou a ocupar o primeiro lugar no
consumo. Verificaram-se diferenças de género com consumo mais elevado nos masculinos e
uma igualdade estatística em função da idade, apesar de percentagens superior de consumo nos
mais velhos (≥22 anos). A gravidade do problema em termos de saúde pública exige intervenção
precoce, estruturada e integrada, assim como um trabalho educativo contínuo.
Abstract: This study aimed to characterize and explore alcohol consumption (beer, wine and spirits) in a Portuguese sample of 68 individuals in early adulthood, according to sociodemographic variables gender and age. Consumption were noted in percentages exceeding 50% in the overall sample (51.5%), in males (70%) and in the age group 22-45 years (55.6%). As regards the type of beverage, highest values were verified in wine, beer and followed finally by spirits, in the youngest age group (17-22 years), while in older (≥22 years) beer occupied the first place in consumption. Gender differences were recorded with greater male consumption. There were no age differences, despite higher rates of consumption in older (≥22 years). The severity of the problem in terms of public health requires early, structured and integrated interventions, as well as an ongoing educational work.
