| Sumario: | Objective: To identify the association between alcohol consumption onset age with consumption pattern and troublesome consumption in injured patients. Method: Cross sectional study in injured patients treated in emergency rooms in two public hospitals who reported alcohol consumption at least once in their lives. Variables: sex; onset age, alcohol consumption before the lesion, consumption pattern in the last year and troublesome consumption. Results: 354 patients were included; average alcohol consumptiononset age was 17±4. Significant differences were observed between onset age with: sex (p=0.006), alcohol consumption before the lesion (p=0.001) and troublesome consumption (p=0.001). Conclusion: In this study it was observed that younger consumption onset age was associated with more troublesome alcohol consumption and high and customary consumption pattern. It is necessary to establish specific intervention strategies to reduce alcohol intake at early ages. |
