Resumen
GOMEZ-INFANTE, Eduardo Alberto et al. Differences in lifestyles according to alcohol consumption in university students: Longitudinal study. Sanus [online]. 2023, vol.8, e321. Epub 25-Sep-2023. ISSN 2448-6094. https://doi.org/10.36789/revsanus.vi1.321.
Introduction:
Sedentary lifestyles without nutritional control that also include regular alcohol consumption could increase the health risks in university population.
Objective:
Analyze the differences in lifestyles with respect to the regular intake of nutrients, energy consumption and physical activity according to alcohol consumption in university students.
Methodology:
Descriptive, correlational, and longitudinal study with two measurements in a sample of 67 students from the health area (2017 and 2020). Current university students who voluntarily agreed to participate were included. A personal data card, the 24-hour multi-step reminder, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were applied, and body composition was measured. Inferential analyzes with correlation tests, Mann Whitney U and Wilcoxon test were also implemented.
Results:
54.2% of women and 73.7% of men were reported as current alcohol consumers. Differences were observed regarding total energy consumption and carbohydrate intake between those who drink and those who did not drink alcohol (p <.05). In both groups, protein consumption was associated to lipid intake (p <.01). Between measurements, differences were found regarding body mass index, total caloric consumption, and total energy consumption (p <.03).
Conclusion:
In this sample, alcohol consumption led to differences regarding greater body composition, caloric consumption, and energy consumption, which may influence a greater possibility of overweight in university students.
