The World Health Organization estimated that approximately 43% of the global population consumes alcohol, with an average annual consumption of 4.6 L per person. However, little is known about the factors influencing alcohol intake among students.
This study aimed to determine the factors that influence alcohol intake in students at a Brazilian public institution.
This cross-sectional study was conducted at a public university in the Brazilian Midwest.
In total, 348 Brazilian university students (124 men and 224 women; convenience sample) were recruited. The alcohol use disorder identification test (AUDIT) was used to examine alcohol use, the habitual physical activity questionnaire (Baecke) was used to assess physical activity levels, and the Brazil Economic Classification Standard Criterion was used to assess socioeconomic status. A generalized linear model (GLM) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and odds ratio (OR) estimation was constructed using the Tweedie probability distribution and log link function, with AUDIT questionnaire scores as the dependent variable.
The prevalence of excessive alcohol consumption was 18.7% (9.8% in men and 8.9% in women). The GLM analysis indicated that being single and attending an agricultural science course increased the likelihood of excessive alcohol intake; however, living with family or alone had a protective effect. Being single and pursuing a course in agricultural science increased the likelihood of binge drinking.
Universities and families can use the study findings to develop initiatives aimed at enhancing students' understanding of the harmful effects of alcohol, particularly among agricultural science students.
世界卫生组织估计，全球约43%的人口饮酒，人均年饮酒量为4.6升。然而，对于影响学生饮酒的因素知之甚少。
本研究旨在确定影响巴西一所公立机构学生饮酒的因素。
本横断面研究在巴西中西部的一所公立大学进行。
共招募了348名巴西大学生（124名男性和224名女性；便利样本）。使用酒精使用障碍识别测试（AUDIT）来检查饮酒情况，使用习惯性身体活动问卷（贝克）来评估身体活动水平，并使用巴西经济分类标准来评估社会经济地位。以AUDIT问卷分数为因变量，使用特威迪概率分布和对数链接函数构建了一个95%置信区间（CI）和比值比（OR）估计的广义线性模型（GLM）。
过度饮酒的患病率为18.7%（男性为9.8%，女性为8.9%）。GLM分析表明，单身和就读农业科学课程会增加过度饮酒的可能性；然而，与家人同住或独自生活有保护作用。单身和攻读农业科学课程会增加暴饮的可能性。
大学和家庭可以利用研究结果制定举措，以增强学生对酒精有害影响的认识，特别是在农业科学专业的学生中。
