[Association between alcohol consumption and insomnia in employed floating population in China].

To explore the relationship between alcohol consumption and insomnia among 18-59 years old employed floating population in mainland China, and provide scientific basis for the relevant policies to improve the sleep status of employed floating population from the perspective of alcohol consumption. Data were from Chinese Floating Population Chronic Disease Surveillance (2012). Floating population were selected from industries in 170 counties and districts of 31 provinces/autonomous regions, and Xinjiang Construction Corps in mainland China by using the stratified multistage cluster sampling. Demographic information, behavioral risk factors, insomnia, social pressure and chronic diseases were collected through using the face-to-face questionnaire. After complex weighting of the data, a multivariable logistic regression was used to explore the sleep status and its influencing factors among the employed floating population. A total of 48 499 subjects were included in the analysis. The proportions of the employed floating population who never drank alcohol, drank small amount, and drank excessively were 48.3%, 41.8% and 9.9%, respectively. The prevalence of insomnia among the general, male and female employed floating population was 28.6%, 25.8% and 32.3%, respectively. The prevalence of insomnia among the employed floating population aged between 45 and 59 years old (32.2%) was higher than that in the population aged between 18 and 44 years old (28.2%). The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting confounding factors, compared with the employed floating population who never consumed alcohol as the reference group, the values of insomnia for the employed floating population with moderate drinking and excessive drinking were 1.40 and 1.53, respectively. The values of insomnia for the male and female employed floating population with moderate drinking were 1.28 and 1.53. The values of insomnia for the male and female employed floating population with excessive drinking were both 1.46. The values of insomnia for the population aged 18-44 years and 45-59 years with excessive drinking were 1.41 and 1.27. The values of insomnia for the population aged 18-44 years and 45-59 years with excessive drinking were 1.55 and 1.37. Small amount of drinking and excessive drinking are associated with insomnia among the employed floating population in mainland China. The association between excessive drinking and insomnia is stronger than that between small amount of drinking and insomnia.
