“…When we further investigated factors associated with binge drinking in caregivers, older age and higher education level were found to be protective against binge drinking. This is in agreement with general population-based studies, where lower education level and younger age were associated with harmful alcohol use [34,35].…”

“…Some studies have shown that subjects with lower income engage in risky drinking behavior more often than those with high incomes [36,37]. Other studies conducted in the general Korean population have found no association between income and harmful alcohol use [34,35]. However, a Canadian study on factors associated with risky single occasion drinking also found that subjects with the highest income had higher odds of risky drinking behavior.…”

Background: Caregiving for childhood cancer survivors may be burdensome for caregivers and affect their physical health and health behaviors. However, studies examining health behaviors in caregivers of childhood cancer survivors are scarce. This study aimed to examine health behaviors of caregivers of childhood cancer survivors by comparing them with those of the general population, and analyze associated factors. Methods: This study included 326 caregivers of childhood cancer survivors recruited from 3 major hospitals in South Korea and 1304 controls from the Korean National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey matched for age, sex, and education level. We compared health behaviors between the two groups by using conditional logistic regression analyses, and investigated factors associated with unhealthy behaviors in caregivers by using multiple logistic regression analyses. Results: Caregivers were less likely to be physically inactive (aOR: 0.69, 95% CI: 0.51, 0.92) compared to controls, and this was more evident in women (aOR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.45, 0.94). However, caregivers were more likely to be binge drinkers (aOR: 2.26, 95% CI: 1.73, 2.97), especially if they were men (aOR: 13.59, 95% CI: 8.09, 22.82). Factors associated with unhealthy behaviors in caregivers differed by the type of behavior. Current smoking risk was lower in female caregivers and in those with more comorbidities. Increasing age, female sex, higher education level, and lower household income were associated with lower risk of binge drinking. Higher household income and anxiety were associated with lower risk of physical inactivity, while depression was associated with higher risk of physical inactivity. Conclusions: Caregivers of childhood cancer survivors were more likely to engage in binge drinking, but less likely to be physically inactive. Strategies to promote adherence to desirable health behaviors in caregivers are needed with consideration of their socioeconomic and clinical factors, such as number of comorbidities.

“…Moreover, the rate of people with drinking problems has also increased [13]. In Korea, men have higher consumption of alcohol than women due to cultural factors [14][15][16] and recently, women's alcohol consumption has also increased [17]. The most recent data from Korean Statistics show that the consumption has increased from 73.5% (2007) to 75.0% (2017) for men and 41.5% (2007) to 50.5% (2017) for women [18].…”

Background: The effect of stress on mental health has been increasingly acknowledged. Drinking habits are closely inter-related with stress and each affects the other. However, only limited studies addressed the effects of alcohol consumption on family members apart from spouses. The purpose of this study is to better understand the relationship between parent drinking frequency and their children’s self-reported stress. Methods: Data was collected from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (K-NHANES) conducted during 2007–2016. Respondents were divided into three groups: children (n = 3796), maternal (n = 22,418), and paternal (n = 16,437). After merging the children and parents data sets, we identified the final study population of 3017 and performed binary logistic regression. Results: We found that the odds of high stress cognition was 1.58-fold higher for children who have heavy drinking mother (95% CI: 1.14–2.19) and 1.45-fold higher for those who have heavy drinking father (95% CI: 1.06–1.99). In a subgroup analysis, children whose household income level was Q1 and maternal occupation was white collar showed a statistically significant association of high stress with parental drinking frequency. Conclusions: Parental drinking frequency negatively impacts stress in the children of drinkers. We suggest providing support care for children in vulnerable environments to improve their stress levels.

“…Moreover, in reference to Burkinabe sociology, women with social disturbances due to alcohol are blamed more for their behavior, which, along with exposure to stigma, may moderate their behavior, thus reducing alcohol misuse or issues in them. There was a high risk for not formally educated (aOR=1.50; 95% CI: 1.00-2.25; p=0.049) ( Table 2), which may be compared to the results of Chloe et al [39] who linked low education level to harmful alcohol use (OR=1.77; 95% CI: 1.49-2.11 for men and OR=4.10; 95% CI: 3.03-5.56 for women). The appropriate public health education program should also target male gender, as well as non-schooled drinkers.…”

Background: The alcohol consumption level is rising in Burkina Faso, which has the highest prevalence of heavy drinking in West Africa. This study used daily alcohol intake levels to explore drinking behaviors in regard to the days of the week and associations with dependence signs.Methods: We operated variables from the past 12-month drinkers reported by the 2013 Stepwise survey, which provided information on daily drinking and symptoms of alcohol dependence. We performed student tests, principal component analyses and logistic regression.Results: Data from 1,139 past 12-month drinkers was analyzed, and 15.9% (95%; CI: 13.8–18.1) of users had at least one sign of alcohol dependence. Both drinkers without and with dependence symptoms had a common behavior for higher intake on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, while lower intake behavior was observed on Tuesday. Only drinkers with dependence signs had high intake behavior, especially on Monday and Friday. In multivariate analysis, alcohol dependence signs were associated with increased drinking only on Monday [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) =1.24, p=0.0001)] or Friday (aOR=1.15, p=0.003).Conclusion: For drinkers without any dependence sympoms, behaviors for higher intake were limited to Thursday, Saturday and Sunday in accordance with the “social events schedule” and the “weekly administrative time-off”, but those with dependence signs extended this kind of behavior to Monday or Friday, likely due to the increased and persistent craving triggered by the high intake the previous day.
