Resumo
Objective: To analyze the temporal trend of the prevalence of alcohol abuse among adults in
Brazilian capitals, between 2006 and 2019. Methods: Time series study, based on data from the Surveillance
System for Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (Vigitel), between 2006 and
2019. The population consisted of adults (≥ 18 years old) with landline telephone residing in Brazilian capitals.
The trend analysis was performed by linear regression. Results: Between 2006 and 2019 there was a significant
increase (p = 0.03) in the abusive consumption of alcoholic beverages in the total adult population, from 15.6
to 18.8%. Among men, there was a stability trend (p = 0.96), and among women, there was an increase from
7.7 to 13.3% (p < 0.001; β = 0.295). In the male gender stratified by capitals , from 2006 to 2019 there was a
reduction in Belém, Fortaleza, João Pessoa, Macapá, Manaus, Natal, Recife, São Luis, and Teresina. On the
other hand, there was growth in the Federal District. Among women, the trend was upward in: Aracaju,
Belo Horizonte, Cuiabá, Curitiba, Florianópolis, Goiânia, Palmas, Porto Alegre, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, São
Paulo, Vitória, and the Federal District. Conclusion: The results indicate that more adult women are currently
drinking in excess compared to previous years, suggesting an increased risk of alcohol-related harm in this
portion of the population in Brazilian capitals, bringing about a convergence effect with the prevalence among
men and women.
