ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze possible associations between a Fantastic lifestyle and self-perception of oral health, binge drinking, and socio-demographic variables among public college students. Methods: questionnaires validated for use in Brazil were applied to 672 students in randomly selected courses. It was the first questionnaire to assess a Fantastic lifestyle, the second to measure oral health-related quality of life (OHIP-14), and the third to include socio-demographic information. Multilevel linear regression was used for the analyses. Results: among the participants, 64.21% were full-time students, 52.82% were females, 50.85% had a family income between 4 and 8 minimum wages, 16.75% were binge drinkers, and 22.22% used to drive after drinking. Socio-demographic variables such as income (p = 0.001), religion (p = 0.02), marital status (p = 0.021), binge drinking (p <0.001), and OHIP-14 (p <0.001) were associated with a Fantastic lifestyle. Conclusions: fantastic lifestyle of the Brazilian college students was associated with income, oral health-related quality of life, marital status, religion, and alcohol consumption (binge drinking).
RESUMO Objetivo: analisar associações entre o estilo de vida fantástico com a auto percepção de saúde bucal, a prática de Binge-drinking e variáveis sócio demográficas de universitários. Métodos: foram aplicados três questionários validados, sendo o primeiro questionário, para medir o estilo de vida fantástico, o segundo, para medir a qualidade de vida em saúde bucal (Ohip-14) e um terceiro com informações sociodemográficas, e aplicados em 672 estudantes. Foram realizadas regressões lineares multiníveis para analisar as associações. Resultados: verificou-se que 64,21% eram do turno integral, 52,82% do gênero feminino, 50,85% tinham renda familiar entre 4 a 8 salários mínimos, 16,75% praticam Binge-drinking e que 22,22% dirigem após beber. As variáveis sociodemográficas renda (p=0,001), ser praticante de religião (p=0,02), estado conjugal (p=0,021), Binge-drinking (p<0,001) e escore Ohip-14 (p<0,001) estiveram significativamente associados ao estilo de vida fantástico. Conclusão: o estilo de vida fantástico de universitários brasileiros esteve associado à renda, à qualidade de vida em saúde bucal, à situação conjugal, à pratica religiosa e ao consumo de álcool (Binge-drinking).
