“…Moreover, there is evidence that alcohol consumption is also associated with non-submission to preventive cardiovascular tests 8 . Given the global epidemiological transformation towards longer life, CVD has become increasingly important to middle-income countries such as Brazil, with most of the CVD burden related to CHD 9,10 . However, few Brazilian studies have examined the relationship between alcohol and CVD or its subcategories.…”

Objectives: To examine the association between patterns of drinking and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in a populational sample. Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study carried out from January 2006 to June 2007, in Metropolitan São Paulo, Brazil, in conjunction with the international collaborative GENACIS project (Gender, Alcohol, and Culture: an International Study), with PAHO support. The subjects (1,501; 609 men, 892 women) of this study were residents of randomly chosen households aged 30 years and above who consented to provide information. The dependent variable was cardiac risk as assessed by the WHO Rose Angina Questionnaire. Logistic Regression analysis was used and the data were adjusted for Body Mass Index (BMI) and smoking. Results: The response rate was 75%. Being female, older, African-American, a current smoker, and having a greater BMI were associated with higher risk of coronary heart disease. Lifetime abstainers (OR = 2.22) and former drinkers (OR = 2.42) had greater CHD risk than those who consumed up to 19g pure alcohol per day, with no binge. Among those who had binged weekly or more there was a tendency toward higher risk (OR = 3.95, p = .09). Conclusions: Our findings suggest a lower risk for CHD among moderate drinkers. It is important, in studies which were investigating cardiac risk, assess heavy alcohol use, since it can change that risk. Also, effective public policies are needed to reduce harmful drinking and related morbidity in Brazil.Keywords: Alcohol. Alcohol consumption. Coronary heart disease. Cross-sectional study.

“…Diante da tendência global de aumento na expectativa de vida, doenças coronarianas têm se tornado importantes desafios em países como o Brasil, no qual a maior parte da sobrecarga das doenças cardiovasculares está relacionada à doença coronariana 9,10 . Entretanto, poucos estudos examinaram a relação entre álcool e as doenças cardiovasculares em geral e as coronarianas, em especial.…”

“…Based on studies conducted in the State of São Paulo 3 , and in capital cities such as São Paulo 4 , Salvador 5 and Goiânia 6 , later extended to the country as a whole 7,8 , mortality rates due to DCS started declining in Brazil as of 1970. New diagnosis techniques, as well as therapeutic and technologic advances in medical care have been accounted for by Mansur et al 7 as involved in that reduction.…”

Methods: The number of deaths due to DCS were obtained from the Mortality Information System (SIM). Populational estimates for RP-SP -taking gender, age group, and calendar years into account -were obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Specific mortality rates were calculated on yearly basis according to gender and age group in 10-year intervals starting at 30 years of age. The trend analysis was conducted through polynomial regression models for time series. Significance level was ≤ 0.05.Results: Specific mortality rates due to DCS increased with age both among males and females, being higher among males in the 40 to 49-year-old range. After that, figures were comparable, although at 80-year-old age groups data for females showed to be higher than that for males in some years of the series. Along the study period, significant reduction was observed for mortality rates among both males and females, and for all age ranges from those causes (p<0.001). Brazil is a limiting component for the formulation of ecologic hypotheses to explain the decline. Conclusions: Mortality rate pattern due to DCS in RP-In a continental size country as Brazil, regional differences in goods and services distribution as well as health promotion programs interfere in that dynamics. Therefore, not all regions go through the 4th stage of the Epidemiologic Transition 9 -when the most marked characteristic is the mortality rates decline due to DCS.In a study conducted by Souza et al. 10 in the period between 1979 and 1996, the authors observed that mortality rates due to DCS showed different trends in the five geographic macro-regions in Brazil. Results pointed towards a decline trend as of 30 years of age in the Southern, Southeastern and Northern Regions, although the opposite trend was observed for the Northeastern and Central-Western Regions.Having taken into account the regional differences in Brazil, the present study had the objective of identifying mortality trends due to DCS in Ribeirão Preto, SP, based on the time series corresponding to the time period between 1980 and 2004. Materials and methodsStudy Design -The study followed a time series ecological design 11 , and covered the period between 1980 and 2004.
