“…This may explain adolescents' vulnerability to substance abuse, more specifically, alcohol consumption. In this line, some facilitators of alcohol use among adolescents were highlighted, for example, lifestyle, high levels of stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depressive symptoms, susceptibility to peer pressure and problems associated with school [24]. Drinking in social environments is a common habit among youth people, where alcohol is perceived to enhance social interactions and, in consequence, reduce their feeling of loneliness.…”

This research aimed to explore gender differences in nutritional, odontological and psychological patterns of adolescent students during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to achieve the study’s aim, 127 adolescent students (17.61 ± 7.43 years) completed an online questionnaire which analysed variables regarding their psychological, nutritional, oral health, and physical activity profiles and habits during the COVID-19 crisis. Students showed a higher weekly alcohol consumption and higher levels of loneliness perception when alcohol consumption was lower. In addition, experimental avoidance and psychological inflexibility values were lower when the perception of having dry mouth or lack of saliva is higher. The results also show that males presented a more varied intake of food than females and a stronger adherence to physical activity routines. Female students presented a lower number of meals per day when beer and alcohol consumption was higher, and a higher tendency for fat- and sugar-rich foods such as fast food or bakery products than males. Regarding the oral health profile, females showed higher values in daily tooth brushing and no significant differences were found in dry mouth and gastritis variables. The results from the present study could be used by various educational institutions to implement multidisciplinary interventions to develop healthier habits.

“…However, a systematic review of lifestyle interventions (focused on tobacco use, alcohol, illicit drug use, risky sexual behavior, and aggressive behavior) showed that, when substance use is a primary target with strategies aimed specifically at decreasing its frequency, multicomponent interventions in school settings tend to be effective in decreasing these behaviors [41]. Our work, therefore, demonstrates the urgency of proposing primary strategies that integrate multicomponent programs aligned with the reduction of tobacco and alcohol use among adolescents from vulnerable areas, since the literature consistently observes a negative association between tobacco and alcohol use and NCDs [42,43,44].…”

Promoting healthy lifestyle factors (e.g., physical activity, healthy eating, less screen time) among young people is a relevant and challenging step toward reducing non-communicable diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a multicomponent intervention on lifestyle factors among adolescents from schools in low Human Development Index (HDI < 0.500) areas. The Fortaleça sua Saúde program was conducted with 548 adolescents aged 11–18 years old in the intervention group and 537 in the control group. The four-month intervention included strategies focused on training teachers, new opportunities for physical activity in the school environment, and health education strategies for the school community (including parents). Moderate- to-vigorous physical activity level (≥420 min/week), TV watching and computer use/gaming (<2 h/day), daily consumption of fruit juice, fruit, vegetables, soft drinks, savory foods and sweets, and current alcohol and tobacco use were measured before and after intervention. McNemar’s test and logistic regression (odds ratio [OR] and a 95% confidence interval [95% CI]) were used, considering p < 0.05. In the intervention schools, a significant increase occurred in the number of adolescents who met physical activity guidelines (5.3%; 95% CI = 0.8; 9.8) and who reported using computer for <2 h a day (8.6%; 95% CI = 3.8; 13.4) after intervention. No changes were observed in the control schools. At the end of the intervention, adolescents from intervention schools were more likely to practice physical activity at recommended levels (OR = 1.44; 95% CI = 1.00; 2.08) than adolescents from control schools. No significant change was observed for the other lifestyle factors. In conclusion, this multicomponent intervention was effective in promoting physical activity among adolescents from vulnerable areas. However, other lifestyle factors showed no significant change after intervention. This study is registered at Clinicaltrials.gov NCT02439827.

“…This difference may be due to drinking alcohol being more common in the country; where the prevalence of adolescent drinking of almost 80% 20 . A possible explanation of this is due to the need for a sense of belonging and trying to imitate habits shown by peers which are common aspects of adolescence 25 . It is due to these reasons that alcohol use and other substance abuse was associated with eating disorders and body image problems 26 .…”
