OBJECTIVE To describe the patterns of alcohol consumption in Brazilian adolescents. METHODS We investigated adolescents who participated in the Study of Cardiovascular Risks in Adolescents (ERICA). This is a cross-sectional, national and school-based study, which surveyed adolescents of 1,247 schools from 124 Brazilian municipalities. Participants answered a self-administered questionnaire with a section on alcoholic beverages consumption. Measures of relative frequency (prevalence), and their 95% confidence intervals, were estimated for the following variables: use of alcohol beverages in the last 30 days, frequency of use, number of glasses or doses consumed in the period, age of the first use of alcohol, and most consumed type of drink. Data were estimated for country and macro-region, sex, and age group. The module survey of the Stata program was used for data analysis of complex sample. RESULTS We evaluated 74,589 adolescents, who accounted for 72.9% of eligible students. About 1/5 of adolescents consumed alcohol at least once in the last 30 days and about 2/3 in one or two occasions during this period. Among the adolescents who consumed alcoholic beverages, 24.1% drank it for the first time before being 12 years old, and the most common type of alcoholic beverages consumed by them were drinks based on vodka, rum or tequila, and beer. CONCLUSIONS There is a high prevalence of alcohol consumption among adolescents, as well as their early onset of alcohol use. We also identified a possible change in the preferred type of alcoholic beverages compared with previous research.
目的 描述巴西青少年的饮酒模式。方法 我们调查了参与青少年心血管风险研究（ERICA）的青少年。这是一项基于全国学校的横断面研究，对来自巴西124个城市的1247所学校的青少年进行了调查。参与者回答了一份包含酒精饮料消费部分的自填问卷。对以下变量估计了相对频率（患病率）及其95%置信区间：过去30天内酒精饮料的使用情况、使用频率、该期间饮用的杯数或剂量、首次饮酒的年龄以及最常饮用的饮料类型。按国家和宏观区域、性别和年龄组对数据进行了估计。使用Stata程序的模块调查对复杂样本进行数据分析。结果 我们评估了74589名青少年，他们占符合条件学生的72.9%。约五分之一的青少年在过去30天内至少饮酒一次，约三分之二在这期间饮酒一至两次。在饮酒的青少年中，24.1%在12岁之前首次饮酒，他们最常饮用的酒精饮料类型是伏特加、朗姆酒或龙舌兰酒以及啤酒为基酒的饮品。结论 青少年饮酒患病率很高，且饮酒开始时间较早。与之前的研究相比，我们还发现了青少年偏爱的酒精饮料类型可能存在变化。
