Resumo(s)
O consumo de álcool tem sido parte integrante na história humana desde que há registos (Goel, S., Sharma, A., & Garg, A., 2018). Atualmente, o consumo nocivo de álcool é classificado como o 7º fator de risco para a morte e de incapacidade mundialmente, e 3º fator de risco na Europa (Barbería-Latasa, M., Gea, A., & Martínez-González, M. A., 2022). As doenças cardiovasculares são a principal causa de morte em todo o mundo, tendo forte impacto na esperança e na qualidade de vida. Se, por um lado, os diversos estudos epidemiológicos realizados ao longo dos tempos demonstram que o consumo moderado de álcool se associa a efeitos que mostram benefícios para a saúde, nomeadamente a diminuição do risco de desenvolvimento de doença cardiovascular, o consumo nocivo de álcool e o binge drinking são das principais causas de mortalidade, mundialmente, algo que também se verifica na associação entre o consumo de álcool e as doenças cardiovasculares (Goel, S., Sharma, A., & Garg, A., 2018).
Com este trabalho final de mestrado procuro explorar de que forma o consumo de álcool pode afetar saúde cardiovascular. Inicialmente, procuro explicar os mecanismos tóxicos do álcool, abordando de seguida o impacto direto e indireto do seu consumo. Ao longo deste trabalho também procurarei comparar os benefícios do consumo de álcool com os malefícios do consumo de álcool.
Alcohol consumption has been an integral part of human history for as long as records exist (Goel, S., Sharma, A., & Garg, A., 2018). Currently, harmful alcohol consumption is ranked as the 7th risk factor for death and disability worldwide and the 3rd risk factor in Europe (Barbería-Latasa, M., Gea, A., & Martínez-González, M. A., 2022). Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death worldwide, having a strong impact on hope and quality of life. If, on the one hand, the various epidemiological studies carried out over time demonstrate that moderate alcohol consumption is associated with effects that show health benefits, namely the reduction in the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, harmful alcohol consumption and Binge drinking is one of the main causes of mortality worldwide, something that is also seen in the association between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular diseases (Goel, S., Sharma, A., & Garg, A., 2018). With this thesis, I seek to explore how alcohol consumption can affect cardiovascular health. Initially, I seek to explain the toxic mechanisms of alcohol, then addressing the direct and indirect impact of its consumption. Throughout this work I will also try to compare the benefits of alcohol consumption with the harms of alcohol consumption.
