RESUMEN
A pesar del gran incremento de la población inmigrante en los últimos años, su uso de alcohol está poco estudiado. Se describe la epidemiología del consumo de riesgo de alcohol en la población inmigrante residente en España, frente a la nativa. Se emplearon datos de 22188 respondentes a la Encuesta Europea de Salud de 2009, de los que 3162 eran extranjeros. Como indicadores de consumo problemático se usó la prevalencia de consumo excesivo promedio y el consumo excesivo episódico. Se realizaron análisis descriptivo de la población, determinación de zonas de procedencia con mayor consumo de alcohol y factores relacionados para cada tipo de consumo separando población inmigrante de autóctona. El perfil sociodemográfico del inmigrante fue heterogéneo, aunque predominantemente de entre 35 y 54 años, que vive en familia y trabaja. Se consideraron bebedores excesivos promedio al 3,4% de los inmigrantes por el 3,2% de los nativos, y bebedores excesivos episódicos en el último año el 8,9% frente al 10%. Los inmigrantes procedentes de Europa del Norte y del Oeste, y América latina, países andinos, fueron aquellos que presentaron mayores razones de prevalencia de bebedores de riesgo que la población nativa. Por el contrario, proceder de África fue un factor protector. De los factores relacionados con un mayor consumo, destaca el desempleo, siendo más relevante en la población inmigrante. El consumo excesivo de alcohol en inmigrantes es muy heterogéneo, debiendo adecuarse las intervenciones sobre el mismo a su situación social, diferentes entornos y áreas de procedencia
ABSTRACT
In recent years, the immigrant population has substantially increased in Spain. However, there is a lack of information in the knowledge of alcohol abuse among Spanish immigrants. We describe the epidemiology of alcohol abuse among foreign-born immigrants versus Spanish natives. We carried out a cross-sectional study that uses data from the European Survey of Health on the General Population of Spain of 2009. A sample of 22,188 subjects was analyzed (of whom, 3,162 were foreign). Proxies of problematic alcohol consumption were the prevalence of excessive average consumption and the prevalence of excessive episodic consumption (binge drinking). Descriptive analysis of the population, determination of area of origin with major alcohol consumption and related factors for each kind of consumption, separating immigrant and native population, were performed. The immigrant profile was heterogeneous, though predominantly aged between 35 and 54, and were living with their family and working. 3.4% of immigrants and 3.2% of natives were considered excessive drinkers; 8.9% and 10%, respectively, reported binge drinking in the last year. Immigrants from Northern and Western Europe, and Latin America, Andean countries had significantly a higher report of frequent alcohol consumption and/or binge drinking compared to native. On the contrary, born in Africa was a protective factor. Unemployment was the most relevant related factor, being more important in the immigrant population. The excessive alcohol consumption in immigrants is dissimilar; the interventions must be adapted to their social situation, environments and areas of origin
