Alcohol consumption is a risk factor for various diseases, especially non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and injuries. The reduction of the harmful use of alcohol is mentioned in Target 3.5 of the Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDG). This study aimed to determine factors associated with current alcohol drinking among Malaysians aged 15 years and above. Data from the National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) 2019, a cross-sectional nationwide survey using a two-stage stratified random sampling design, was used. Current alcohol drinking was defined as having consumed any alcoholic beverage in the past 12 months. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression analysis were employed. The prevalence of current drinkers was 11.5%; 95% CI: 9.8, 13.5. The majority (65%) consumed alcoholic beverages in Category 2, which is mainly beer. Current drinkers consumed alcohol mostly once a month (59.0%), one or two drinks (71.1%), on a typical day. Most respondents had six or more drinks less than once a month (27.6%). Sex, age, ethnicity, education, employment, and smoking were found to be significantly associated with current alcohol drinking. Marital status, locality of residence, and household income were not significantly associated. Alcohol drinking is a problem among certain vulnerable groups and should be tackled appropriately.

Çalışmada, ailelerin veya bireylerin sosyo-demografik ve ekonomik faktörleri ile alkol tüketim olasılığı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla panel rastgele-etki sıralı probit modeli kullanılarak analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizde Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu (TÜİK) tarafından oluşturulan 2019 yılına ait Türkiye Sağlık Araştırması (TSA) anket verileri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonuçları, aile bireylerinin veya ailenin sosyo-demografik ve ekonomik faktörlerinin belirli kademedeki alkol tüketim olasılıkları ile önemli istatistiksel bir ilişkinin varlığı söz konusudur. Araştırmada erkeklerin kadınlara, çalışanların çalışmayanlara, resmi eğitim almış bireylerin almamışlara, bireysel sağlık sigortası olanların olmayanlara, spor yapanların yapmayanlara, depresyonlu olanların olmayanlara, sigara içenlerin içmeyenlere ve orta ile yüksek gelirlilerin düşük gelirlilere göre alkol tüketim olasılıklarının daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, kilolu olmak, çocuk sahibi olmak, meyve alımı ve kalabalık bir hane halkına sahip olmak ile alkol tüketme olasılıkları arasında negatif yönlü bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Özellikle lise ve üniversite düzeyinde eğitim almış bireylerin alkol tüketme olasılıklarının daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Alkol tüketen bireylerin sigara içme ve depresyona girme riskleri daha yüksek bulunmuştur.
