OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of alcohol abuse/dependence and identify associated factors among demographic, family, socioeconomic and mental health variables. METHODS:A household survey was carried out in the urban area of Campinas, southeastern Brazil, in 2003. A total of 515 subjects, aged 14 years or more were randomly selected using a stratifi ed cluster sample. The Self-Report Questionnaire and the Alcohol Use Disorder Identifi cation Test were used in the interview. Prevalences were calculated, and univariate and multivariate logistic analyses performed by estimating odds ratios and 95% confi dence intervals. RESULTS:The estimated prevalence of alcohol abuse/dependence was 13.1% (95% CI: 8.4;19.9) in men and 4.1% (95% CI: 1.9;8.6) in women. In the fi nal multiple logistic regression model, alcohol abuse/dependence was signifi cantly associated with age, income, schooling, religion and illicit drug use. The adjusted odds ratios were signifi cantly higher in following variables: income between 2,501 and 10,000 dollars (OR=10.29); income above 10,000 dollars (OR=10.20); less than 12 years of schooling (OR=13.42); no religion (OR=9.16) or religion other than Evangelical (OR=4.77); and illicit drug use during lifetime (OR=4.47). Alcohol abuse and dependence patterns were different according to age group. CONCLUSIONS:There is a signifi cantly high prevalence of alcohol abuse/ dependence in this population. The knowledge of factors associated with alcohol abuse, and differences in consumption patterns should be taken into account in the development of harm reduction strategies.

“…These ratios are smaller than those estimated by the first wave of Brazilian epidemiological studies, 22 but they are comparable to those found in recent surveys conducted in the country. [1][2][3]18 The study's male: female ratio is much higher than those estimated in US surveys, above all the recent ones. Indeed, the NCS and the NLAES surveys estimated male: female ratios of around 2:1.…”

“…17 In Brazil, there is a longstanding research tradition on the epidemiology of mental health, including alcoholism and related conditions. 22 Key findings from Brazilian population studies that covered alcoholdrinking problems [1][2][3]18,19,21 can be summarized as follows. Males have higher rates of alcohol consumption and alcoholism than females, with ratios varying from 3:1 to 11:1.…”

“…There is also empirical evidence suggesting that in Brazil alcoholism starts at an earlier age among males and individuals of lower as compared to higher SES, 19 and that the known pattern of a middle-age prevalence decline occurs earlier. 1 However, none of such studies investigated the effect of ethnic inequality on alcohol consumption or misuse nor its interaction with gender and social class.…”

ObjectiveTo study patterns of alcohol consumption and prevalence of high-risk drinking. Methods A household survey was carried out in a sample of 2,302 adults in Salvador, Brazil. Cases of High-Risk Drinking (HRD) were defined as those subjects who referred daily or weekly binge drinking plus episodes of drunkenness and those who reported any use of alcoholic beverages but with frequent drunkenness (at least once a week). Results Fifty-six per cent of the sample acknowledged drinking alcoholic beverages. Overall consumption was significantly related with gender (male), marital status (single), migration (non-migrant), better educated (college level), and social class (upper). No significant differences were found regarding ethnicity, except for cachaça (Brazilian sugarcane liquor) and other distilled beverages. Overall 12-month prevalence of highrisk drinking was 7%, six times more prevalent among males than females (almost 13% compared to 2.4%). A positive association of HRD prevalence with education and social class was found. No overall relationship was found between ethnicity and HRD. Male gender and higher socioeconomic status were associated with increased odds of HRD. Two-way stratified analyses yielded consistent gender effects throughout all strata of independent variables. Conclusions The findings suggest that social and cultural elements determine local patterns of alcohol-drinking behavior. Additional research on long-term and differential effects of gender, ethnicity, and social class on alcohol use and misuse is needed in order to explain their role as sources of social health inequities.

Cláudia dos Santos COPLE 2 RESUMO RESUMO RESUMO RESUMO RESUMOA desnutrição proteíco-energética é freqüente nos pacientes cirróticos e representa um sério risco no aumento das taxas de morbi-mortalidade desta população. Independente do fator etiológico sua prevalência é alta e repercute em ambos os sexos. Este estudo de casos objetivou verificar o impacto da injúria cirrose alcoólica no estado nutricional e a eficácia do tratamento dietoterápico na reversão da depleção nutricional. Foram estudados 50 pacientes (47 homens e 3 mulheres) atendidos no Ambulatório de Nutrição onde foi realizada avaliação nutricional objetiva com os parâmetros antropométricos, bioquímicos, clínicos e história dietética em três momentos distintos (início, 8º e 18º mês de tratamento). Os resultados iniciais revelaram que 96% dos cirróticos apresentavam algum nível de desnutrição e, no 18º mês tiveram normalização dos parâmetros nutricionais.Termos de indexação: avaliação nutricional, cirrose hepática alcoólica, dietoterapia, nutrição clínica na cirrose alcoólica, alcoolismo. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACTThe protein-calorie malnutrition is very common in the cirrhotic patients and it represents a risk in the morbidity and mortality rates increase. Independently of the etiologic factor, its prevalence is high and has repercussions in both sexes. This cases study had the objective of verifying the impact of alcoholic cirrhosis in the nutritional status and the efficacy of the diet therapy in the reversion of malnutrition. Fifty patients (47 men and 3 women) were studied. They were attended at the Nutrition Ambulatory, where an objective nutritional assessment was carried out wish anthropometric, biochemical and clinical parameters and dietetic history in three distinct moments (beginning, 8th and 18th month of treatment). The first results revealed that 96% of the cirrhotic patients presented some level of malnutrition and in the 18th month the nutritional parameters were normalized.
