BACKGROUND
The popularity of sports-betting is growing globally and may be associated with alcohol consumption among young adults. In this study, we examine the relationship between alcohol consumption plus other substances with sports-betting in a group of young adult males in Uganda.
METHODS
We conducted a cross-sectional study and interviewed male motorcycle taxi boda boda riders in the southwestern Uganda town of Mbarara. We asked questions about alcohol consumption, smoking plus history and frequency of sports-betting.
RESULTS
We enrolled 401 riders. The median age was 29.0 years, interquartile range 25-32 years. Seventy four (18.5%) had engaged in sports-betting in the past 30 days. Among those that reported sports-betting, 16(21.6%) engaged daily or almost daily. Alcohol use was significantly associated with sports-betting with an adjusted risk ratio (aRR) of 2.08(95% CI 1.36, 3.18) among moderate drinkers but not among heavy drinkers in comparison to low or non-drinkers. Cigarette smoking was significantly associated with sports-betting with an aRR 1.85(95% CI 1.13, 3.01).
CONCLUSION
Sports-betting is common among these young male motorcycle riders, and is associated with both alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking. Interventions to regulate sports-betting may be co-packaged with those to reduce alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking among young adult males.
背景
体育博彩在全球范围内日益流行，可能与年轻人饮酒有关。在本研究中，我们调查了乌干达一群年轻成年男性中饮酒及其他物质使用与体育博彩之间的关系。
方法
我们开展了一项横断面研究，对乌干达西南部城镇姆巴拉拉的男性摩的骑手进行了访谈。我们询问了有关饮酒、吸烟以及体育博彩的历史和频率的问题。
结果
我们招募了401名骑手。中位年龄为29.0岁，四分位间距为25 - 32岁。在过去30天内，74人（18.5%）参与过体育博彩。在报告参与体育博彩的人群中，16人（21.6%）每天或几乎每天参与。与低饮酒量者或不饮酒者相比，适度饮酒者中饮酒与体育博彩显著相关，调整风险比（aRR）为2.08（95%可信区间1.36，3.18），但重度饮酒者中并非如此。吸烟与体育博彩显著相关，aRR为1.85（95%可信区间1.13，3.01）。
结论
体育博彩在这些年轻男性摩的骑手中很常见，且与饮酒和吸烟都有关。规范体育博彩的干预措施可与减少年轻成年男性饮酒和吸烟的措施一同实施。
