摘要: Alcohol use peaks in early adulthood and can contribute both directly indirectly to unhealthy weight gain. This review aimed systematically evaluate the effectiveness of preventative targeted interventions focused on reducing eating behavior linked alcohol 18–25-year-olds. Twelve electronic databases were searched from inception June 2018 for trials or experimental studies, any duration follow-up. Eight studies (seven with student populations) met inclusion criteria. Pooled estimates demonstrated inconclusive evidence that receiving an intervention resulted changes self-reported fruit vegetable consumption (mean change/daily servings: 0.33; 95% CI −0.22 0.87) reduction 0.6 units/week; −1.35 0.19). There was also little difference number binge drinking episodes per week between control groups (−0.01 sessions; −0.07 0.04). identified only a small relevant studies. Importantly, included did not assess whether (and how) behaviors link together. Further exploratory work is needed inform development appropriate interventions, outcome measures have capacity food consumption, order establish change this population group.
