Abstract

Objective To identify vegetarianism prevalence and associated factors among students at a public university in Southern Brazil. Methods This was a cross-sectional study carried out in 2017-2018 with first-year university students. A questionnaire was administered to assess diet type (omnivorous or vegetarian). Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Results Of 2,706 eligible individuals, 1,841 formed part of the sample. The predominant type of diet was omnivorous (93.6%), followed by lacto-ovo vegetarian (5.4%), strict vegetarian (0.7%), ovo vegetarian (0.2%) and lacto vegetarian (0.1%). Females (OR=0.58 - 95%CI 0.38;0.89), students reporting harmful use of alcohol (OR=2.02 - 95%CI 1.34;3.04) and students enrolled in Linguistics, Modern Languages and Arts courses - compared to those enrolled in Applied Social Sciences and Humanities courses (OR=2.59 - 95%CI 1.42;4.71) - were more likely to be vegetarians. Conclusion Vegetarian diet was associated with the female sex, alcohol use, and taking linguistics, modern language and arts courses.

2018年,巴西南部一所公立大学一年级学生吃素。
目的了解巴西南部一所公立大学学生素食流行情况及相关因素。方法采用2017-2018年在大学一年级学生中进行的横断面研究。通过问卷调查评估饮食类型(杂食性或素食性)。采用Logistic回归估计优势比(OR)和95%置信区间(95% ci)。结果在2,706名符合条件的个体中,有1,841人构成了样本的一部分。饮食类型以杂食为主(93.6%),其次为乳蛋素食(5.4%)、严格素食(0.7%)、蛋素食(0.2%)和乳素食(0.1%)。女性(OR=0.58 - 95%CI 0.38;0.89)、报告有害使用酒精的学生(OR=2.02 - 95%CI 1.34;3.04)和语言学、现代语言和艺术课程的学生——与应用社会科学和人文学科课程的学生(OR=2.59 - 95%CI 1.42;4.71)相比,更有可能成为素食主义者。结论素食与女性性别、饮酒、参加语言学、现代语言和艺术课程有关。
