Percepción de los médicos frente al consumo de vino tinto y la salud cardiovascular / Doctors’ perception of red wine consumption and cardiovascular health

Introducción: El consumo de vino tinto se ha relacionado históricamente con una reducción de riesgo cardiovascular, con una evidencia científica en ocasiones controvertida. Método: Se ha realizado una encuesta vía WhatsApp con fecha 01/09/22 a una cohorte de médicos de la provincia de Málaga sobre los posibles hábitos de consumo de vino tinto saludables, diferenciando: nunca, 3-4 copas semanales, 5-6 copas semanales y una copa diaria. Resultados: Contestaron 184 facultativos, con una media de edad de 35 años ± 11,1, de los cuales 84 (45,6%) fueron mujeres, distribuidos en diferentes especialidades. La mayoritaria fue medicina interna con 52 (28,2%). La opción más elegida fue la d (59,2%), seguida de la a (21,2%), la c (14,7%) y la b (5%). Conclusiones: Más de la mitad de los médicos encuestados recomendaron nulo consumo y solo el 20% indicaron que una copa diaria podría ser saludable en sujetos no abstemios. (AU)
