The traffic accidents prevention in the direction of attempting to limit drinking-driving behaviour is difficult to implement. However, if there was a relationship between these accidents and the regular consumption of alcohol, the reduction of alcohol use should be promoted. Likely, this strategy would be useful to other accidents. This study evaluates the association between regular consumption of alcohol and the occurrence of any type of accidents, a traffic accident, a home accident and an occupational accident. The information source has been interviews carried out to persons 16 years and older in National Health Interview Survey. In occupational accidents only interviews of men between 16 and 64 years of age have been used. The odds ratio (OR) calculated by logistic regression was the measure of association used. Except for home accidents, the results show statistically significant OR for the 16 to 24 and 25 to 44 age groups. For the occurrence of any type of accident, the ORs for the 16 to 24 years age group were: 1.37 for moderate drinkers, 1.87 for great drinkers and 2.55 for heavy drinkers, and the ORs for the 25 to 44 years age group were 1.28, 1.65 and 2.11 for the same levels of consumption. Similar magnitude of association showed the traffic and occupational accidents. In all cases interaction between regular consumption of alcohol and age was found. Our results suggest that a new direction in the health policy of accidents should be developed.
试图限制酒后驾车行为方向上的交通事故预防难以实施。然而，如果这些事故与经常饮酒之间存在关联，那么就应该推动减少酒精使用。很可能，这一策略对其他事故也会有用。本研究评估了经常饮酒与各类事故（交通事故、家庭事故和职业事故）发生之间的关联。信息来源是在国民健康访谈调查中对16岁及以上人群进行的访谈。在职业事故方面，仅使用了对16至64岁男性的访谈。通过逻辑回归计算的优势比（OR）是所使用的关联度量。除家庭事故外，结果显示16至24岁和25至44岁年龄组的OR具有统计学意义。对于各类事故的发生，16至24岁年龄组中，适度饮酒者的OR为1.37，大量饮酒者为1.87，重度饮酒者为2.55；25至44岁年龄组中，相同饮酒水平的OR分别为1.28、1.65和2.11。交通和职业事故显示出类似的关联程度。在所有情况下，都发现了经常饮酒与年龄之间的相互作用。我们的结果表明，应该制定事故健康政策的新方向。
