“…According to WHO methodology, which differs and includes also unrecorded estimated consumption, it was 14.4 litres per capita (for population aged 15+ years) in 2016, which is by 47% more than the average of WHO European region (2) and one of the highest globally (81). High level of alcohol consumption in the Czech Republic has been recently and repeatedly found in population surveys with various geographic location and coverage (82,83).…”

Objective: Alcohol consumption is associated with substantial public health burden. This article summarises available information on the patterns and prevalence of alcohol use in the Czech Republic with a focus on the heavy alcohol use and its health and social consequences. Methods: A non-systematic literature review was conducted. The data sources included primarily 3 series of surveys in the adult population, 2 series of surveys in the school population, routine monitoring system of per capita alcohol consumption, routine statistics on alcohol-related morbidity and mortality, and alcohol-related crime. Results: In recent years the registered alcohol consumption in the Czech Republic has been very high; 9.8 litres of pure alcohol were consumed per capita in 2017. Recently, the prevalence of hazardous alcohol consumption in the adult population has reached 16.8-17.6% and harmful alcohol consumption 9.0-9.3%. From 12% to 17% of adult population and 12% of adolescent population were heavy episodic drinkers. Alcohol-related disorders are disproportionately higher (2-3 times) among men. Mortality for alcohol-related causes fully attributable to alcohol (AAF = 100%) and their proportion in overall mortality is on increase. Conclusions: Alcohol consumption as well as the prevalence of heavy episodic drinking in the Czech Republic belongs among the highest globally. On the other hand, declines in alcohol use have been recently observed among children and adolescents. Available data on alcohol-related morbidity indicate stable situation, though alcohol-related mortality is increasing. Alcohol-related burden is rather underestimated and evidencebased alcohol policy should be increasingly implemented.

“…For doing that, we conducted a cross-sectional analysis on data from the Kardiovize study, a population-based prospective study assessing both traditional and novel risk factors for CVD, in a randomly selected ~1% of the urban population of Brno (Czech Republic) [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. We have chosen this cohort since previous findings from the Kardiovize study were consistent with the WHO report in showing that approximately 80% Czech adult drank alcohol in the form of beer, spirits, or wine [ 1 , 24 ]. This places Czech Republic at the top of countries for alcohol consumption—only behind Moldova and Lithuania—with 14.4 L of pure alcohol per adult [ 1 ].…”

Is Drinking Alcohol Really Linked to Cardiovascular Health? Evidence from the Kardiovize 2030 Project

Existing data have described benefits and drawbacks of alcohol consumption on cardiovascular diseases (CVD), but no research has evaluated its association with the cardiovascular health (CVH) score proposed by the American Heart Association. Here, we conducted a cross-sectional analysis on the Kardiovize cohort (Brno, Czech Republic), to investigate the relationship between alcohol consumption and CVH. We included 1773 subjects (aged 25–64 years; 44.2% men) with no history of CVD. We compared CVD risk factors, CVH metrics (i.e., BMI, healthy diet, physical activity level, smoking status, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and total cholesterol) and CVH score between and within several drinking categories. We found that the relationship between drinking habits and CVH was related to the amount of alcohol consumed, drinking patterns, and beverage choices. Heavy drinkers were more likely to smoke tobacco, and to report diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol at higher level than non-drinkers. Among drinkers, however, people who exclusively drank wine exhibited better CVH than those who exclusively drank beer. Although our findings supported the hypothesis that drinking alcohol was related to the CVH in general, further prospective research is needed to understand whether the assessment of CVH should incorporate information on alcohol consumption.

Objetivo: Investigar o custo-consumo de bebidas alcoólicas entre homens e mulheres em uma região da Amazônia Legal. Material e Método: Estudo exploratório e com abordagem mista, realizado em bairros de periferia de uma região da Amazônia Legal, nos meses de agosto a dezembro de 2019, junto a consumidores de bebidas álcoolicas, totalizando 60 participantes. Aplicou um roteiro semiestruturado e o Alcohol Use Disorders Identi cation Test. Utilizou-se o discurso do sujeito coletivo, e análise de correlação "Coe ciente de Contingência C". Respeitou todos os aspectos éticos em pesquisa. Resultados: Predominou mulheres com consumo de risco e homens em dependência química. Observou-se uma forte associação do teor alcoólico (C= 0,481; p= 0,0004) e preço da bebida (C= 0,386; p= 0,0197) com todos os tipos de padrão de uso de álcool. Para todos os homens, o teor alcoólico in uencia o consumo, assim como o preço das bebidas. Entre as mulheres, sendo distinto somente o teor alcoólico. Conclusão: Esses achados apontam que os aspectos que determinam o custo-consumo
