湖南省四地区农村居民饮酒行为调查

目的:描述湖南省四地区农村居民饮酒情况。方法:采用随机、多阶段整群抽样的方法,使用定式检查问卷调查湖南四地区(衡阳、怀化、张家界以及益阳)农村社区中18713人(15-65a)的酒精使用情况。结果:男、女及整个样本月饮酒率分别为46.8%、3.8%和26.7%,年饮酒率分别是55.6%、8.9%和33.7%。整个样本人群(15-65a)年饮酒量为3.03L±s8.35L纯酒精,农村男性饮酒量为女性的39.7倍;饮酒者年平均消耗纯酒精8.97L±s15.40L,男、女性年饮酒量分别是10·00L±s17.59L、1.60L±s4.64L。56.1%(3540/6314)的饮酒者每周饮酒1次或以下,16.2%(1024/6314)的人每天饮用。低、高度白酒仍是农村地区主要饮酒种类。结论:湖南农村四地区的饮酒率和饮酒量均存在较大的性别差异;尽管饮酒率与全国相比,处于较低水平,但饮酒者的酒精消耗量,尤其是农村男性的饮酒量,仍不容乐观。作者预计随着经济的发展,社会交往的增多,农村饮酒人数和酒精的消费量还会进一步增加,对农村地区有关酒精的知识宣传和酒精使用控制上亟待进一步加强。

DRINKING STATUS IN GENERAL POPULATION OF FOUR RURAL AREAS IN HUNAN PROVINCE,CHINA

Objective:To investigate the consumption of alcohol beverages as well as the drinking rate in rural dwellers in four districts of Hunan Province. Methods:Through random and multistage cluster sampling,18 713 respondents (15-65 years old) from Hengyang, Huaihua,Zhangjiajie and Yiyang districts in Hunan Province were interviewed with an alcohol use survey questionnaire. Results:The one-month drinking rates in the study were 46.8%,3.8% and 26.7% for the male,female and the total sample,respectively,and the rates of one-year were 55.6%,8.9% and 33.7%,respectively. The mean annual consumption per person among all respondents was 3.03 ±s 8.35 liters of pure alcohol. Males drank alcohol 39.7 times as much as that of the females. The average annual consumption of pure alcohol by the male,female and total drinkers was 10.00±s 17.59,1.60±s 4.64 and 8.97±s 15.40 liters,respectively. 56.1%(3540/6314) drinkers had alcohol beverages once a week or less,while 16.2%(1024/6314) drinkers drank once or more a day. Weak and strong distilled spirits were the main choice in the rural areas. Conclusion:There are differences in the rate and amount of alcohol use between male and female in the selected rural areas of Hunan Province. Although the drinking rate in the study is still lower compared with the average level of the national alcohol consumption,the drinkers,especially the male drinkers in these rural areas report to drink larger amount per occasion. We predict that with the development of economy and increased social interaction,alcohol consumption in rural populations will continue to increase,and drinking related problems in rural areas will become one of the concerns of public health issues. It is urgent for the government to develop policies and strategy to deal with the problem.
