Sport factors and alcohol consumption among adolescents on island Brač

The aim of this study was to explore correlation of alcohol consumption with sport factors in high school adolescents on island Brač. The participants were all high school students, 267 (114 Female, 153 Male), from all schools on island Brač (Supetar, Bol and Pučišća), aged 16.25±1.48 years. For the purpose of this study, we used an extensive, previously validated, self-administered AUDIT questionnaire which also included sociodemographic factors. Collected data was processed in Statistica by descriptive statistics, frequency tables and logistic regression for some of the variables examined. The results show that 29.21% of students reported harmful alcohol drinking, while 70.78% belong to the category of non-harmful alcohol consumption. “Sport result” (54%) increases possibility of harmful alcohol drinking, while other sport factors are not preventive ones. Preventive and education programme, as well as future studies are needed to prevent potential health and social risk of adolescents living and studying on island.
