Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a worldwide public health problem, being an important aggravating factor of comorbidities found in the elderly, with the potential to increase mortality indicators for this age group.
To analyze alcohol-induced deaths in elderly people with alcohol-related disorder in Brazil between 1996 and 2019.
An ecological study was conducted with secondary data obtained from the Brazilian Unified Health System (SIM) Mortality Information System from 1996 to 2019. TabNet/DATASUS, Excel 2016 and SPSS 21 were used to prepare the results.
Between 1996 and 2019, 85,928 alcohol-induced deaths were recorded among the elderly (>60 years); in 1996, the lowest number of deaths was recorded ( = 1396), and in 2018, there were the highest number of deaths ( = 5667). In the profile of the elderly, there was a predominance of men (88%). Mortality from AUD was due to alcoholic liver disease (62.2%), followed by mental disorders due to alcohol use (37.3%).
Coping with AUD is a public health problem that aims to reduce the number of deaths from diseases, conditions and injuries in which alcohol consumption is the causative agent, in addition to preventing deaths to which alcohol contributes.
酒精使用障碍(AUD)是一个全球性的公共卫生问题,是老年人共病的一个重要加重因素,有可能增加该年龄组的死亡率指标。
分析 1996 年至 2019 年巴西与酒精相关障碍的老年人群中因酒精导致的死亡。
本研究采用了基于二次数据的生态研究,这些数据来源于巴西 1996 年至 2019 年的统一卫生系统(SIM)死亡率信息系统。使用 TabNet/DATASUS、Excel 2016 和 SPSS 21 来准备结果。
1996 年至 2019 年间,记录了 85928 例老年人(>60 岁)因酒精导致的死亡;1996 年记录的死亡人数最少(=1396),而 2018 年记录的死亡人数最多(=5667)。在老年人群中,男性占主导地位(88%)。AUD 导致的死亡率归因于酒精性肝病(62.2%),其次是与酒精使用相关的精神障碍(37.3%)。
应对 AUD 是一个公共卫生问题,旨在减少因饮酒导致的疾病、病症和伤害的死亡人数,此外还要预防因饮酒而导致的死亡。
