ABSTRACT

Objective:

To describe the association between consumption of different alcoholic beverages and adherence to the Mediterranean diet.

Methods:

A cross-sectional analysis was conducted of the baseline data of the DiSA-UMH study, an ongoing cohort study with Spanish health science students (n=1098) aged 17-35 years. Dietary information was collected by a validated 84-item food frequency questionnaire. Participants were grouped into non-drinkers, exclusive beer and/or wine drinkers and drinkers of all types of alcoholic beverages. Mediterranean diet adherence was determined by using a modification of the relative Mediterranean Diet Score (rMED; score range 0-16) according to consumption of 8 dietary components. We performed multiple linear and multinomial regression analyses.

Results:

The mean alcohol consumption was 4.3g/day (SD 6.1). A total of 19.5%, 18.9% and 61.6% of the participants were non-drinkers, exclusive beer and/or wine drinkers and drinkers of all types of alcoholic beverages, respectively. Participants who consumed beer and/or wine exclusively had higher rMED scores than non-drinkers (β 0.76, 95%CI 0.25-1.27). Drinkers of all types of alcoholic beverages had similar rMED scores to non-drinkers. Non-drinkers consumed less fish and more meat, whereas drinkers of all types of alcoholic beverages consumed fewer fruits, vegetables and more meat than exclusive beer and/or wine drinkers.

Conclusions:

The overall alcohol consumption among the students in our study was low-to-moderate. Exclusive beer and/or wine drinkers differed regarding the Mediterranean diet pattern from non-drinkers and drinkers of all types of alcohol. These results show the need to properly adjust for diet in studies of the effects of alcohol consumption (AU)
RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Explorar la asociación entre el consumo de diferentes bebidas alcohólicas y la adherencia a la dieta Mediterránea.

Métodos:

Se analizaron transversalmente los datos basales del estudio DiSA-UMH (n=1098) de 17-35 años. Para recoger información dietética se utilizó un cuestionario de frecuencia de alimentos de 84 ítems validado previamente. Se agrupó a los participantes en no bebedores, bebedores exclusivos de cerveza o vino (o ambos), y bebedores de todo tipo de bebidas. La adherencia a la dieta mediterránea se determinó usando una modificación de la relative Mediterranean Diet Score (rMED). Se utilizó regresión lineal múltiple y multinomial.

Resultados:

La media de alcohol fue de 4,3 (6,1) g/día. El 19,5%, el 18,9% y el 61,6% de los participantes fueron clasificados en no bebedores, bebedores exclusivos de cerveza o vino, y bebedores de todo tipo de bebida, respectivamente. Los participantes clasificados en bebedores exclusivos de cerveza o vino tuvieron una mayor rMED que los no bebedores (β 0,76; intervalo de confianza del 95% 0,25-1,27). Los participantes clasificados en bebedores de todo tipo de bebidas tuvieron una rMED similar a los no bebedores. En comparación con los bebedores exclusivos de cerveza o vino, los no bebedores consumían menos pescado y más carne, mientras que los bebedores de todo tipo consumían menos frutas, vegetales y más carne.

Conclusiones:

La ingesta de alcohol entre los estudiantes de nuestro estudio fue en general baja-moderada. Los bebedores exclusivos de cerveza o vino presentaron un patrón dietético mediterráneo diferenciado del de los no bebedores y los bebedores de todo tipo de bebidas, lo que justificaría ajustar correctamente por la dieta en estudios sobre los efectos del consumo de alcohol (AU)
