| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 3OlR0x0b. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Study objectives-Premature mortality associated with alcohol intake is of particular concern in several countries of the former Soviet Union. This study explored self reported alcohol consumption (beer, wine, spirits) and its determinants in the Baltic Republics. Design-Cross sectional surveys conducted in 1997. Settings-Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Participants-Representative samples of adults age 19-64 (Estonia n=2010 ; Latvia n=2258 ; Lithuania n=2139). Methods-Between country differences in the frequency of alcohol intake were estimated. The odds of consuming alcohol weekly according to socioeconomic characteristics (age, ethnicity, rural/urban area, education, income) were calculated using multiple logistic regression analyses, adjusting for all variables simultaneously. Main results-The proportion of respondents consuming alcohol weekly varied by country (p<0.001) (men : Estonia=61% Latvia=41% Lithuania=55% ; women : Estonia=26% Latvia=8% Lithuania=14%). Within each country, this proportion decreased with age in both sexes (p<0.001), and increased with income in women (p<0.01). In Estonia, the odds of drinking alcohol weekly was significantly lower in respondents of Russian than of Estonian ethnicity (odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) : men=0.51 (0.36,0.71) ; women=0.57 (0.39,0.81)). In Lithuania, the odds was higher in highly educated men than in those with a low education level (OR=1.48 (1.01,2.17)). (...) |
