PREVALENCE OF ALCOHOL DRINK CONSUMPTION AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS IN THE ADULT POPULATION
Abstract
Objective: to estimate the prevalence of alcohol consumption and associated factors in an adult population, assisted in Primary Health Care, in a capital city of Northeastern Brazil. Method: a cross-sectional study, carried out with 391 adults, between 20 and 59 years old, assisted by the Family Health Teams in the city of Teresina, Piauí. Data were obtained through structured interviews from April to July 2019 and analyzed in SPSS version 20.0. Results: The sample was mostly composed of women, between 30 and 39 years old, educated but without a job, with children, and religious. The prevalence of alcohol consumption was 59.3%, of which 15.3% made risky use, 2.1% harmful use, and 3.1% presented possible dependence. There was a statistically significant association between alcohol consumption and the independent variables: gender, age group, and work. Conclusion: the results show a high prevalence of alcohol consumption associated with men, despite the predominance of women, young adults, and those with work. Considering the harmful consumption causes, the importance of the routine application of instruments during consultations carried out in Primary Care that identify the pattern of alcohol consumption is highlighted, allowing for early and effective intervention.
