Abstract:
Objective To understand the prevalence of alcohol dependence in individuals living in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region,China. Methods From July 2007 to December 2007,21290 subjects aged more than 15 were randomly selected for 6 Prefecture-level cities and 10 counties by stratified multi-stage cluster sampling method. All subjects were investigated by face to face interview. The Chinese version of Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI3.0) Provided by the Chinese Center for Disease Control And Prevention was used as the screening tool and the diagnoses were made with the 10th edition of international classification of Disease Criteria. Results 18 219 subjects completed the screening,the Completion rate was 85.58‰. The general point prevalence and the general lifetime prevalence of alcohol dependence in individuals living in Guangxi was both 4.50‰. The general lifetime prevalence was higher in rural (6.17‰) than in urban (1.85‰) ( RR =0.31,95% CI =0. 17 ～0.57, P=0. 000) ,higher in men (8.59‰) than in women (0. 33‰) ( RR =0.04,95% CI =0. 01 ～ 0.13, P = 0.000 ) and higher in Zhuang (9.63‰) than in Han(1.95‰) ( RR = 5. 01,95% CI = 3.02 ～8.34, P = 0.000). The lifetime prevalence of alcohol dependence tends upwards as age increasing (P＜0.05 ) and it differs in different marital status,higher in divorce groups (P ＜ 0.05).
