“…This fact can be related to the coexistence in community and the lack of leisure options, causing the population to gather around the alcoholic beverage. The presence of alcohol and its consumption in the indigenous festivities reveals that the drink is related to the integration of individuals in the community [ 36 ].…”

ObjectiveTo identify the consumption of alcoholic beverage and the relation with hypertension, their prevalence and associated factors, in indigenous Mura, Brazil.MethodsA cross-sectional population-based study was conducted with 455 adult indigenous aged 18 years or more of Mura ethnics in Amazonia, Brazil. Interview was conducted and the alcohol intake was assessed by the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Blood pressure was measured in three measurements and the mean of the last two measurements was used. Physical examination included the following data: weight, height, waist and neck circumference, bioimpedance, and capillary measurement of glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol. Through multivariate Logistic regression in stepwise, the odds ratios for alcohol consumption and associated factors were identified.ResultsThe prevalence of alcoholic beverage was 40.2%, with no significant difference for hypertension in those who drink (23.0%) and those who did not drink (29.0%). Referred hypertension in indigenous was associated to less use of alcoholic beverages (14.2% vs 24.3%, P = 0.009). After an adjusted analysis (Odds Ratio, 95% CI), there was a positive association between alcoholic drink intake and male sex (10.27, CI: 5.76–18.30), smoking (4.72, CI: 2.35–9.46) and live in rural areas (9.77, CI: 5.08–18.79). On the other hand, age (0.95, IC: 0.94–0.97), and absence of dyslipidemia (0.41, CI: 0.19–0.89) were associated to lower alcohol consumption.ConclusionThe prevalence of alcoholic beverage was high and associated with referred hypertension, but this association was not maintained after adjusted analysis. Changes to habits and inappropriate lifestyles in indigenous populations and living in urban areas may contribute to increase risk for cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, health policies should be implemented to meet the uniqueness of indigenous people.

“…Os estudantes consideraram uma distinção entre o uso tradicional, religioso e/ou medicinal de substâncias psicoativas em contraponto com outras drogas inseridas numa lógica de mercado e consumidas para fins lúdicos em contextos urbanos. A socialização desses estudantes no ambiente urbano e universitário também apareceram como influenciadores no consumo de psicoativos e em padrões de comportamento e estilos de vida 16 .…”

Para alguns povos indígenas da América Latina, o uso de bebidas alcoólicas é anterior à chegada dos colonizadores. Para outros, os contatos interétnicos ao longo da história alteraram profundamente os sentidos e as relações com essas substâncias. O presente artigo revisa a literatura dos últimos anos sobre o consumo de álcool por povos indígenas latino-americanos, compreendendo aspectos históricos, sociais e de saúde a ele associados. Os resultados indicam que o uso precoce de bebidas alcóolicas, a perda de referenciais identitários, mudanças nos modos de vida, proximidade com centros urbanos, êxodo migratório, marginalização e discriminação social são fatores de risco ao consumo prejudicial de álcool entre povos indígenas. Constatou-se ainda uma carência de pesquisas epidemiológicas que prejudicam o dimensionamento de demandas relativas ao uso prejudicial de álcool e dificultam o planejamento e execução dos serviços de saúde.
