Associação entre o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas e tabaco e a religiosidade

Abstract

Objective: To verify the association between religiosity and the pattern of alcohol and tobacco consumption among the population assisted by primary health care services. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 363 individuals over 18 years of age. The variable of exposure, religiosity, was evaluated according to the Duke University Religion Index. The outcome, alcohol and tobacco consumption, was evaluated through the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) questionnaire. The association between exposure and outcome was verified based on a multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: There was a high prevalence of alcohol and tobacco consumption among most vulnerable groups. Organizational and intrinsic religiosity were protective factors in relation to moderate and high alcohol and tobacco consumption. Conclusion: The higher the score for organizational and intrinsic religiosity, the lower the consumption of alcohol and tobacco.

“…Epidemiologic data and data from other studies corroborate these findings. 2,4,11,16 It is possible to observe and possibly explain the higher risk of consumption by those men for these substances due to the social determinants and the context in which they are inserted, emphasizing social vulnerabilities, such as low educational level, low income, poverty, and even the proximity with violence, as pointed out in international reports. 17 On the other hand, a higher risk of consumption as observed in relation to the use of hypnotics for women, with a higher mean value among widowed individuals, corroborating the results found for men regarding the marital status and pointing out a higher risk of use of substances for single, separated, and widowed men, thus evidencing a higher protection for married men, that is, those who have a family.…”

“…On the occasion it was also evidenced that the mean age for starting consumption was 16 years for tobacco and 17 years for alcohol and illicit drugs. 4 The rapid emergence of new substances combined with the use of alcohol, crack, and other drugs and their relationship to accidents or situations of violence evidence the increased severity of the injuries and the reduced potential years of life of the population, exposing people to risk behaviors. 1 Accidents and violence represent the second cause of general mortality and the leading cause of death among people aged between 10 and 49 years.…”

Porém, de forma não menos importante, a partir da perspectiva que os hábitos religiosos funcionam como combustível para o equilíbrio do ser humano, mesmo fora de estados de fragilidade (Queiroz, et al;2015;Lazari et al, 2017 comunidades religiosas e que são reforçadas no convívio (Campos, 2012;Stroppa, 2008).…”
