目的：介绍1992年至2004年新加坡酒精消费的趋势。方法：酒精消费数据来源于1992年、1998年和2004年进行的全国健康调查。在三个调查中，按性别和年龄组比较了频繁饮酒（每周饮酒1-4天）、定期饮酒（每周饮酒超过4天）和酗酒（每月至少一次饮酒期间饮酒5杯或更多）的年龄调整患病率。使用logistic回归模型对2004年的酗酒进行多变量分析。结果：1992年至2004年间，频繁、定期和酗酒的患病率有所上升。酗酒的患病率增加最高（从5.1%增加到10.0%），其次是频繁饮酒（从4.5%增加到7.5%）和经常饮酒（从2.9%增加到3.1%）。酗酒在男女和所有年龄组中都有所增加，但在18-29岁的成年人中最为明显。研究发现，男女的饮酒量都有所增加，但在18-29岁的女性中最为明显。男性的定期饮酒水平下降，但女性的定期饮酒水平上升，尤其是18-29岁和30-49岁的女性。年轻、男性、分居、离婚或丧偶、目前吸烟，或家庭月收入在6000新元及以上，都与酗酒呈正相关。结论：1992年至2004年间，新加坡人的酒精消费，尤其是酗酒，有所增加。饮酒方面存在性别趋同现象。
Aims: To present trends in alcohol consumption between 1992 and 2004 in Singapore. Methods: Alcohol consumption data were derived from national health surveys conducted in 1992, 1998 and 2004. Age-adjusted prevalence of frequent (drinking 1-4 days a week), regular (drinking more than 4 days a week) and binge (having five or more drinks during a drinking session at least once in the month) drinking by gender and age group for the three surveys were compared. Multivariate analyses for binge drinking in 2004 were performed using logistic regression models. Results: Prevalence of frequent, regular and binge drinking increased between 1992 and 2004. Prevalence increase in binge drinking was highest (from 5.1 to 10.0%), followed by frequent drinking (from 4.5 to 7.5%) and regular drinking (from 2.9 to 3.1%). Uptake in binge drinking increased in both genders and across all age groups but was most evident among adults aged 18-29. Frequent drinking increase was observed for both genders but was most pronounced among women aged 18-29. The level of regular drinking declined in men but increased in women, especially those aged 18-29 and 30-49. Being younger, male, separated, divorced or widowed, a current smoker, or having a monthly household income of S$6000 and above were attributes positively associated with binge drinking. Conclusions: Alcohol consumption, especially binge drinking, has increased among Singaporeans between 1992 and 2004. There is gender convergence in alcohol consumption.
