[Sociomedical characteristics of population groups differing in the frequency of alcohol consumption (population research)].
A representative sample of the population of one Moscow district (people aged 35-64) was studied. All the examined subjects were asked, how often they used alcohol. Only 31.1% of women and 14.3% of men used no alcohol at all. The highest was the percentage of persons using alcohol several times a year: 42.1% of men and 60% of women. Men using alcohol several times a week proved to have arterial hypertension more often than those not using alcohol. Among men aged 55-64 using alcohol several times a week nobody had normal blood pressure. The more alcohol people used, the less they cared for their health and the more rarely they visited a doctor.
