To describe perceived negative consequences (PNCs) of alcohol consumption related to the frequency of heavy episodic drinking (HED) in a Swedish population attending primary health care (PHC).
Data from a computer-based assessment, including questions about alcohol consumption and PNC, were collected from 28 PHC centres in Sweden. The analysis included 4559 responders. Risk ratios concerning PNC for different frequencies of HED were calculated.
Engaging in HED once a month for women and two to three times a month for men significantly raised the proportion of individuals reporting PNC, compared with engaging in HED less than once a month. The men reported PNC of alcohol consumption to a higher degree than the women, and in general, the proportion of individuals reporting PNC was associated with the frequency of HED.
Engaging in HED once a month for women and two to three times a month for men are critical levels regarding PNC of alcohol consumption. To identify a cut-off value for categorizing individuals as hazardous alcohol consumers due to the frequency of HED, further studies are needed.
描述在瑞典接受初级保健的人群中，与重度间断性饮酒（HED）频率相关的饮酒负面后果（PNC），并分析这些后果与 HED 频率之间的关系。
从瑞典 28 个初级保健中心收集了基于计算机评估的数据，包括饮酒量和 PNC 相关问题。分析共纳入了 4559 名应答者。计算了不同 HED 频率下 PNC 的风险比。
女性每月 HED 饮酒一次，男性每月 HED 饮酒两次至三次，与每月 HED 饮酒次数少于一次相比，报告 PNC 的个体比例显著增加。男性报告的饮酒 PNC 比女性更严重，而且一般来说，报告 PNC 的个体比例与 HED 的频率有关。
女性每月 HED 饮酒一次，男性每月 HED 饮酒两次至三次，是饮酒 PNC 的关键水平。需要进一步研究以确定由于 HED 频率而将个体归类为危险饮酒者的截断值。
