We estimated adult binge drinking prevalence in US metropolitan areas.
We analyzed 1997 and 1999 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data for 120 metropolitan areas in 48 states and the District of Columbia.
The prevalence of binge drinking varied substantially across metropolitan areas, from 4.1% in Chattanooga, Tenn, to 23.9% in San Antonio, Tex, (median = 14.5%). Seventeen of the 20 metropolitan areas with the highest estimates were located in the upper Midwest, Texas, and Nevada. In 13 of these areas, at least one third of persons aged 18 to 34 years were binge drinkers. There were significant intrastate differences for binge drinking among metropolitan areas in New York, Tennessee, and Utah.
Metropolitan-area estimates can be used to guide local efforts to reduce binge drinking.
我们估算了美国各大都市区成年人酗酒的患病率。
我们分析了1997年和1999年行为风险因素监测系统针对48个州及哥伦比亚特区的120个大都市区的数据。
酗酒患病率在各大都市区之间差异很大,从田纳西州查塔努加的4.1%到得克萨斯州圣安东尼奥的23.9%(中位数为14.5%)。估计患病率最高的20个大都市区中有17个位于中西部上游地区、得克萨斯州和内华达州。在其中13个地区,至少三分之一的18至34岁人群为酗酒者。在纽约州、田纳西州和犹他州的各大都市区之间,酗酒情况存在显著的州内差异。
大都市区的估算数据可用于指导当地减少酗酒的工作。
