“…This finding is consistent with the domestic and international literature on the subject as stated by the World Health Organization 10 . Studies conducted in Brazil found similar results, such as Barros in a large city in Southeast Brazil 32 , as well as in another research conducted in a medium-sized city in the South of Brazil by Bortoluzzi 33 . This pattern of use was also found in research carried out in Australia, where, in addition to consuming more, young people also present higher risk behaviors related to alcohol use compared to older people 34 .…”

OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to describe the prevalence of alcohol use disorders in an adult population from Brazil and its association with demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral variables and health conditions. METHODS: A population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted with adults (20 to 59 years) of a medium-sized city in Southern Brazil with a random sample of 1,720 individuals. Cluster sampling was done in two stages: census tract first and household second. Alcohol use disorders were measured using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and associations were tested with selected variables by Poisson Regression. Results of multivariate analysis were expressed as prevalence ratios. RESULTS: The prevalence of alcohol use disorders in the population was 18.4% (95% CI: 16.6% - 20.3%), higher among men (29.9%) than in women (9.3%). The prevalence of abstinence was 30.6%; 6.8% of respondents had already caused problems to themselves or to others after drinking; and 10.3% reported that a relative, friend or doctor had already shown concern on their drinking. After multivariate analysis, an association with alcohol use disorders remained for: being male, age 20 to 29 years, being single, declaring to be light-skinned blacks and being an ex-smoker or current smoker. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of alcohol use disorders identified is high compared with other similar studies, with differences according to being male, age 20 to 29, skin color and tobacco use. These issues must be considered in formulating public health policies aimed at reducing problems related to alcohol use.

“…De fato, o consumo de álcool é comum no universo masculino e representa uma tendência de crescimento na sociedade contemporânea. Neste sentido, a OMS enfatiza que tal tendência também ocorre no Brasil e que os homens apresentam uma maior prevalência de consumo regular de álcool em relação às mulheres (BORTOLUZZI et al, 2010). Isso os torna mais vulneráveis às doenças cardiovasculares, neoplasias, absenteísmo -falta ao trabalho, aposentadorias precoces, acidentes de trabalho e de transporte, episódios de violência -agressões, homicídios, suicídios e elevada frequência de ocupação de leitos hospitalares (MASCARENHAS et al, 2009).…”

RESUMOCaracterísticas próprias do universo masculino como o simbolismo da masculinidade podem dificultar práticas de autocuidado, bem como a procura por serviços de saúde, tornando este grupo mais vulnerável ao adoecimento. Com intuito de reverter este panorama, criou-se no Brasil a Política Nacional de Atenção Integral a Saúde do Homem (PNAISH). Assim, este estudo busca traçar o perfil de homens que acessaram serviços da atenção primária da Zona Norte de Natal/RN e verificar o conhecimento da PNAISH por este grupo. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo seccional com 155 homens entre 20 e 59 anos que responderam a um questionário para caracterizá-los quanto: condição socioeconômica, hábitos, perfil de doença, conhecimento da PNAISH e percepção quanto ao serviço de saúde acessado. Assim foi constatado, dentre outros aspectos, que a maioria dos indivíduos eram pardos, tinham baixa escolaridade, renda entre 1 e 2 salários e desconheciam a PNAISH. Em relação ao serviço, 90,3% disseram ter resolvido sua demanda, porém apenas 55,4% consideraram a assistência satisfatória. Por conseguinte, homens que acessam a atenção primária são, em sua maioria, de baixa condição socioeconômica e desconhecedores da PNAISH. Assim, é necessário disseminar mais informações sobre esta política e adequar os serviços de saúde para atender as reais necessidades da população masculina. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Saúde do Homem; Gênero; Atenção Primária à Saúde; Política de Saúde MEN´S PROFILE IN PRIMARY HEALTH CARE ABSTRACTSpecific Characteristics of the male´s universe as the symbolism of masculinity may hamper self-care practices, as well the demand for health services, making the men more vulnerable to illness. To resolve this situation, it was created in Brazil the National Policy of Men's Integral Health Care (NPMIHC). Then, this study aims to delineate the profile of men who accessed primary health care services from the North Zone of Natal / RN and verify the knowledge of NPMIHC by this group. Therefore, it was performed a cross-sectional study with 155 men between 20 and 59 years old who answered a questionnaire to characterize them as: socioeconomic status, habits, disease profile, NPMIHC´s knowledge and perception of the health services accessed. Then it was found, among other things, that most individuals were brown, had lower education, income between 1 and 2 salaries and ignored the NPMIHC. Regarding the health service, 90.3% said they had solved their demand, but only 55.4% considered the service´s assistance satisfactory. In this sense, men who access primary health care are, mostly, from low socioeconomic status and unaware of NPMIHC. Then, it´s necessary to disseminate more information about this policy and adequate health services to meet the real needs of the male population.

“…The hypothesis is that nicotine excitation in the central nervous system causes disturbances in the sleep-wake cycle 21 . With respect to alcohol consumption, only 34.7% of the subjects reported not to drink any alcohol, a number lower than that reported by Bortoluzzi et al 22 (54.5%) in the municipality of Joaçaba (SC) and by the National Anti-Drug Secretariat (SENAD) (48%) for the Brazilian population 23 . In a cohort study conducted in Finland involving 8,960 workers aged 40 to 60 years, Haario et al 24 identified an association between alcohol consumption and insomnia symptoms, which the authors attributed to delayed sleep onset and subsequent sleep interruptions in heavy drinkers.…”

-The objective of this study was to analyze the association between sleep quality, leisure-time exercise and obesity among university employees. The sample consisted of 92 adults of both genders. Sleep quality and physical activity were assessed by questionnaires. Overweight/obesity was diagnosed based on body mass index, which was calculated from self-reported measures of body weight and height. The prevalence of sleep disorders was 53.84%. An association was observed between obesity (OR = 7.22 [OR 95%CI : 1.65-31.5]) and poor sleep quality, and between physical activity and good sleep quality (OR = 0.19 [OR 95%CI : 0.04-0.95]), irrespective of other confounders. In conclusion, the results showed a high prevalence of sleep disorders, which were independently associated with physical activity and obesity.
