Intenção de consumo de vinho tinto fino para melhorar o desempenho sexual de homens e mulheres brasileiros

Abstract

Red wine is known for its potential beneficial health effects, such as cardiovascular protection, cancer prevention and improved cognitive function, attributed to the polyphenols present in wine. These compounds, in addition to being potent antioxidants, seem to have a beneficial relationship with sexual function in women, as well as an increase in testosterone levels. Based on this evidence, the objective of this study was to investigate the impact of this information on the intention to consume fine red wine in Brazil. An exploratory study was carried out, using a questionnaire in the Google Forms search form format, sent to volunteers aged over 18 years in 4 of the 5 regions of Brazil. The form contained closed and open questions, addressing the intention to consume wine and its relationship with sexual performance. Participants were divided into two categories: consumers and non-consumers of wine, allowing to analyze whether the information presented influenced consumption and eating habits. Information was collected over 30 days and the results were interpreted and processed. A total of 173 people were interviewed, of which 38.7% were male and 61.3% female, and with regard to marital status, 44% were married and 56% were single. Related to age group, approximately 57% of respondents were between 18-39 years old. People from the states of the South, Southeast, Northeast and North of Brazil took part in this interview and only 18.5% answered that they do not consume wine. The study also showed that almost 50% of respondents are studying or have higher education, highlighting the importance of this group in the preference for wine. Although a large portion of respondents would not change their wine consumption habits, a significant portion of participants expressed an interest in increasing their consumption (30.6%) or starting wine consumption (17.3%) to improve their sexual performance.
