“…These diffi culties are usually found in epidemiological studies about conduct disorders due to the prejudice and stigma that exist in society. 4 This aspect should be considered in the interpretation of the results, as the estimates may be underestimated.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of self-reported traffi c accidents and identify associated factors. METHODS:Cross-sectional, population-based study carried out from September 2007 to August 2008, in the urban and rural zones of Rio Branco (Northern Brazil). Data referring to adults (aged 18 to 96 years, n = 1,516) of the inquiry Health and Nutrition of Adults and Children of Rio Branco, obtained in home interviews, were analyzed. The relations between self-reported traffi c accident and socioeconomic and behavior variables were analyzed by means of prevalence ratios and 95% confi dence intervals; Poisson regression analysis was performed. RESULTS:The prevalence of self-reported traffi c accident was 36%. In the Poisson analysis, male individuals (PR= 1.45 and 95% CI: 1.12;1.87) who reported alcohol consumption (PR= 1.25 and 95%CI: 0.97;1.62), with income above fi ve minimum wages (PR= 1.88 and 95%CI: 1.25;2.83), aged between 18 and 25 years (PR= 1.45 and 95%CI: 1.02;2.05), presented higher probability of reporting involvement in traffi c accidents. The variables age and level of schooling had inverse association with the outcome, while income had a positive association, all of them with signifi cant tendency. CONCLUSIONS:The prevalence of self-reported traffi c accidents shows higher risk for men with higher income, lower level of schooling and who ingest alcoholic beverages. They should be the target of prevention campaigns.

“…O principal problema para a comparação entre estes dados e os dados de outros estudos é o fato de que a maior parte dos pesquisadores trabalhou com indicadores de consumo do tipo quantidade e freqüência, que são tão permeáveis a viés de informação quanto os questionários padro-TABELA 6.

The role of alcohol ingestion in the incidence of arterial hypertension has not been completely established. In addition, there are few studies addressing this point in relation to populations of workers. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between alcoholism and arterial hypertension among workers in an oil refinery in Mataripe, Bahia, Brazil, from 1986 to 1993. We designed a retrospective cohort study with a 7-year follow-up in a stratified systematic sample of 335 workers from the refinery. Arterial hypertension was diagnosed based on blood pressure measurements done during routine medical examinations. At the beginning of follow-up, three groups were defined using the CAGE test of alcohol dependency: nondrinkers (n = 121), CAGE-negative workers (n = 116), and CAGE-positive workers (n = 98). In comparison with the CAGE-negative group, the CAGE-positive group had both greater relative risk and greater attributable risk for developing arterial hypertension (RR = 2.58; AR = 24.95 per 1,000 person-years). The CAGE-positive group also had greater risks compared to nondrinkers (RR = 2.06; AR = 20.97 per 1,000 person-years). The attributable fractions for the same two comparisons of groups were 61% and 51%, respectively. Rate standardization by age or smoking habit did not substantially change the results. Alcoholism is an important risk factor for arterial hypertension.
