To describe the prevalence of heavy episodic drinking in the Brazilian adult population, according to sociodemographic characteristics, in 2013 and in 2019.
A cross-sectional study using data on heavy episodic drinking among adults (≥ 18 years) from the National Health Survey, analyzed descriptively.
60,202 participants were included in 2013 and 88,531 in 2019. The prevalence of heavy episodic drinking, in 2019 (17.1%; 95%CI 16.6;17.5), was higher than 2013 (13.1%; 95%CI 13.1;14.2). In the two years, there was a higher prevalence among male sex, adults 18 to 39 years old, individuals with high schooling and Black skin color. In addition, higher prevalence were found among residents in urban areas and in the Midwest and Southeast regions.
The indication of the growing prevalence of alcohol abuse in Brazil and the differences in prevalence, according to sociodemographic characteristics, show the need to encourage public policies and actions to combat its use.
根据社会人口学特征,描述巴西成年人群体中重度间歇性饮酒的流行情况,分别为 2013 年和 2019 年。
这是一项使用 2013 年和 2019 年全国健康调查中关于成年人(≥18 岁)重度间歇性饮酒数据的横断面研究,进行描述性分析。
2013 年纳入 60202 名参与者,2019 年纳入 88531 名参与者。2019 年重度间歇性饮酒的患病率(17.1%;95%CI 16.6;17.5)高于 2013 年(13.1%;95%CI 13.1;14.2)。在这两年中,男性、18 至 39 岁的成年人、高学历和黑皮肤的人群中,重度间歇性饮酒的患病率更高。此外,在城市地区、中西部和东南部地区,患病率也更高。
巴西酗酒流行率上升的迹象以及根据社会人口学特征存在的差异表明,有必要鼓励采取公共政策和行动来打击酗酒。
