“…Studies have defined smokers as people who report having smoked one or more cigarettes in the last 30 days. 21,22 Excessive intake of alcohol was assessed using the statement "My weekly intake of alcohol is..." A dose of alcohol was defined as a can of beer (340 ml), or a glass of wine (142 ml), or a dose of distilled spirit (42 ml). Again, alcohol intake may be classified into five categories, but in this study only two were considered, namely, excessive intake of alcohol (over 20 doses and 13-20 doses) and non-excessive intake of alcohol (11-12 doses, 8-10 doses, and up to 7 doses).…”

Objective: To determine the prevalence of and factors associated with body image dissatisfaction among physical education students enrolled in a public university. Methods: This study evaluated 236 students and assessed body image perception (silhouette scale), sociodemographic variables (sex, age, parental education, marital status, university course, work, living arrangement, study shift, and income), physical activity level (International Physical Activity Questionnaire -Short Version), dietary habits, tobacco use, excessive intake of alcohol (questions from the tobacco, alcohol and drugs, and nutrition domains of the FANTASTIC instrument), and nutritional status (body mass index [BMI]). Descriptive analysis, the chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and crude and adjusted multinomial regression were used. Results: The prevalence of body image dissatisfaction was 69.5%; 44.1% were dissatisfied with excess weight. BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m² was associated with dissatisfaction with excess weight; factors associated with dissatisfaction with slimness were being male, eating an unhealthy diet, and smoking tobacco. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that female college students with a BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m² are more likely to present dissatisfaction with excess weight. Being male, eating an unhealthy diet, engaging in physical activity for < 739.61 min/week and smoking tobacco were the variables associated with dissatisfaction with thinness. Keywords: Physical activity, nutritional status, students, body image. ResumoObjetivo: Verificar a prevalência e os fatores associados à insatisfação com a imagem corporal em universitários de educação física de uma universidade pública federal. Métodos: Foram avaliados 236 universitários. Foram mensurados a percepção da imagem corporal (escala de silhueta), variáveis sociodemográficas (sexo, idade, escolaridade dos pais, estado civil, curso universitário, trabalho, moradia, turno de estudo e renda), nível de atividade física (Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física -Versão Curta), hábitos alimentares, uso de tabaco, consumo excessivo de bebidas alcoólicas (questões dos domínios tabaco, álcool e drogas, e nutrição do questioná-rio Fantástico) e estado nutricional [índice de massa corporal (IMC)]. Utilizou-se análise descritiva, o teste do qui-quadrado, o teste exato de Fisher e regressão multinomial bruta e ajustada. Resultados: A prevalência de insatisfação com a imagem corporal foi de 69,5%; 44,1% eram insatisfeitos por excesso de peso. IMC ≥ 25,0 kg/m² esteve associado a insatisfação por excesso; os fatores associados à insatisfação por magreza foram sexo masculino, alimentação inadequada e tabagismo. Conclusão: Os resultados sugerem que acadêmicos do sexo feminino e com IMC ≥ 25,0 kg/m² têm mais chances de apresentar insatisfação por excesso de peso. Sexo masculino, alimentação inadequada, prática de atividade física < 739,61 min/semana e uso de tabaco foram as variáveis associadas a insatisfação por magreza.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of and factors associated with smoking among medical students, as well as to evaluate the profile of this group. Methods: A total of 316 medical students (98.7% of the total) at the University of Passo Fundo, in the city of Passo Fundo, Brazil, completed a self-report questionnaire with questions on tobacco intake and on attitudes related to smoking. In accordance with the World Health Organization guidelines, the students were classified as daily smokers, occasional smokers, former smokers or nonsmokers, those in the two first categories being considered active smokers. Results: We found that 16.5% of the students were active smokers (daily smokers, 5.4%; occasional smokers, 11.1%) and that 3.5% were former smokers. The mean age was 22.2 ± 2.4 years. Factors significantly associated with the smoking habit (p < 0.05) were male gender, paternal smoking, regular alcohol consumption and use of antidepressants or anxiolytics. For the majority (69.2%) of the smokers, the age at smoking onset was 15-19 years of age, and the main motivations to start smoking were selfinitiative and influence of friends. The conceptualization of smoking as an illness was significantly higher among the nonsmokers. In 70.6% of the smokers, tobacco intake was 1-10 cigarettes a day. Among the smokers, 92.3% agreed that smoking is harmful to health, 67.3% had tried to quit smoking, 96.0% believed themselves able to do so, and 87.2% intended to quit smoking. Conclusions: The prevalence of smoking remains significant among medical students. Therefore, it is fundamental that we develop more effective strategies for smoking prevention and cessation in order to reduce the number of smokers among future doctors. Keywords:Smoking; Prevalence; Students, medical; Behavior. ResumoObjetivo: Verificar a prevalência e fatores associados ao tabagismo entre os acadêmicos de medicina e avaliar o perfil desse grupo. Métodos: Responderam a um questionário autoaplicável, contendo perguntas sobre consumo e atitudes relacionadas ao tabagismo, 316 acadêmicos de medicina (98,7% do total) da Universidade de Passo Fundo. Segundo recomendações da Organização Mundial da Saúde, os estudantes foram classificados em fumantes diários, fumantes ocasionais, ex-fumantes ou não-fumantes, sendo considerados fumantes ativos os nas duas primeiras categorias. Resultados: Observou-se que 16,5% dos acadêmicos eram fumantes ativos (5,4% diários e 11,1% ocasionais) e 3,5% eram ex-fumantes. A média de idade foi 22,2 ± 2,4 anos. Os fatores significativamente associados ao tabagismo (p < 0,05) foram sexo masculino, pai fumante, uso regular de bebidas alcoólicas e uso de antidepressivos ou ansiolíticos. Verificou-se que 69,2% dos fumantes iniciaram o tabagismo entre 15 e 19 anos, tendo como principais motivações a vontade própria e/ou a influência de amigos. A conceituação do tabagismo como doença foi significativamente maior entre os não-fumantes. Quanto à carga tabágica, 70,6% dos fumantes consumiam 1-10 cigarros por dia. Entre os fumantes...

Objective: To determine the prevalence of smoking among elderly patients admitted to long-term care facilities (LTCFs) and to determine whether the degree of nicotine dependence is associated with sociodemographic variables, affective ties, motivation for smoking cessation and depression. Methods: Cross-sectional, population-based study involving 573 individuals over the age of 60, admitted to 13 LTCFs in the Federal District of Brasília, Brazil. We analyzed the following variables: type of LTCF, gender, age, level of education, monthly income, marital status, retirement status, affective ties, probable depression, motivation for smoking cessation and degree of nicotine dependence. In order to collect these data, the following instruments were used: a sociodemographic questionnaire; the Flanagan Quality of Life Scale; the Mini-Mental State Examination; the Geriatric Depression Scale; the Richmond test; and the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence. Results: The prevalence of smokers in the study sample (573 individuals) was 23.0%. Of the 132 smokers, there were 90 males (25.8%) and 42 females (18.7%). Of these, 116 smokers were included in the study, 70 of whom (60.3%) presented with probable depression. The degree of nicotine dependence was found to be significantly associated with level of education, monthly income, affective ties, motivation for smoking cessation and probable depression, although not with the type of LTCF, gender, age, retirement status or marital status. Conclusions: Among elderly patients admitted to LTCFs in the Federal District of Brasília, the prevalence of smoking is high and the motivation for smoking cessation is low. Keywords:Smoking; Homes for the aged; Health services for the aged.
