“…Research conducted with more than 200,000 inhabitants in 107 Brazilian cities in 2001 and 2005 show that alcohol consumption in the general population increased from 11.2% to 12.3%. (11) In the present study, the prevalence of alcohol consumption was 3.4 times higher than that of the general population. However, most patients had low risk of dependence, suggesting that this risk factor may not have significantly contributed to the acute coronary syndrome.…”

Objective: To describe the prevalence of smoking and alcohol consumption; to identify the level of physical activity; the degree of nicotine and alcohol dependence and the association between these risk factors in subjects with acute coronary syndrome. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 150 patients with acute coronary syndrome. For data collection, interviews, analysis of patients' charts and validated questionnaires on smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity were used. Results: 58.7% were smokers (35.2% high dependence), 42% consumed alcohol (65.1% low risk), 36.7% were active. Smoking was significantly correlated to alcohol consumption and high nicotine dependence was associated with sedentary lifestyles. Conclusion: There was high prevalence of smoking and alcohol consumption. There was a high nicotine dependence and low risk alcohol consumption. Most participants were active. There was a correlation between alcohol consumption and smoking, as well as association of high nicotine dependence with sedentary lifestyles. ResumoObjetivo: Descrever a prevalência de tabagismo e consumo de álcool; identificar o nível de atividade física; os graus de dependência de nicotina e álcool e verificar a associação entre esses fatores de risco em indivíduos com síndrome coronariana aguda. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 150 pacientes com síndrome coronariana aguda. Para coleta de dados, foram utilizadas entrevistas, análise de prontuários e questionários validados sobre tabagismo, consumo de álcool e atividade física. Resultados: 58.7% eram fumantes (35,2% alta dependência), 42% consumiam álcool (65,1% baixo risco), 36,7% eram ativos. O tabagismo correlacionou-se significativamente ao consumo de álcool e a alta dependência de nicotina associou-se ao sedentarismo. Conclusão: Houve alta prevalência de tabagismo e consumo de álcool. Observou-se elevada dependência de nicotina e consumo de álcool de baixo risco. A maioria dos entrevistados era ativa. Houve correlação entre consumo de álcool e tabagismo, assim como associação da alta dependência de nicotina com sedentarismo.

“…Nearly one in six respondents (5.6%) reported nonprescribed use of tranquilizers at some time during their lives. 18 However, such comparisons should be interpreted with caution, as the methods employed to ascertain nonprescribed use differed between the two surveys. This use was higher among older respondents, which corroborates other studies of school-age adolescents.…”

Objectives: To describe patterns of nonprescribed use of tranquilizers by students aged 10 to 18 years and assess the sociodemographic characteristics of these adolescents and their use of other substances. Methods: A randomized and stratified sample of 47,979 students from state and private schools of the 27 Brazilian state capitals completed a self-report questionnaire. Poisson regression was used to estimate the associations between tranquilizer use and sociodemographic factors, as well as the use of other psychotropic substances. Results: The lifetime prevalence of nonprescribed use of tranquilizers was 3.9%. Use was most common among girls, wealthier adolescents, and those from private schools. An association was found between use of tranquilizers and lifetime use of alcohol (prevalence ratio [PR] = 3.15; 95% confidence intervals [95%CI] 2.58-3.85), tobacco (PR = 2.61; 95%CI 2.31-2.95), illicit drugs (PR = 3.70; 95%CI 3.19-4.29), and other prescription drugs (PR = 7.03; 95%CI 6.18-7.99). As the number of substances adolescents reported having used increased, so did the nonprescribed use of tranquilizers. Conclusions: Nonprescribed use of tranquilizers by adolescents might indicate the use of other substances, including high-risk combinations such as tranquilizers and alcohol. The risks of this association should be addressed during the early stages of drug prevention programs.
