Are trait impulsivity and exposure to cannabis or alcohol associated with the age of trajectory of cocaine use? A gender-specific dimensional analysis in humans with cocaine dependence diagnosis.

Abstract: Cocaine use disorders (CUD) cause major morbidity and optimized prevention efforts are critical. It is unclear if trait impulsivity and exposure to cannabis or alcohol are associated with age trajectory of cocaine use (e.g., age of onset of heaviest use, or time of escalation), or with vulnerability to develop a CUD. This is an observational study with volunteers (≥18 years old), from a metropolitan area. The sample (n = 1,010) included: n = 360 normal volunteers, n = 438 with cocaine dependence (CD) diagnoses… Show more

“…However, potential post-menopausal effects of progesterone cannot be fully excluded [12,83,84]. It should also be noted that the age trajectory of these SUD typically commences earlier in the lifespan [19,20,60], and that the lower mortality occurring in post-menopausal women could be a “carryover” of sexually dimorphic bio-behavioral factors that occur prior to menopause.…”

“…As a follow-up, we also examined whether times of heroin or cocaine escalation differed in these persons with dual OD + CD diagnoses, compared to persons who have either OD or CD, respectively. This was based on a comparison with other groups of volunteers, which were similarly recruited and ascertained in this laboratory and presented in other publications (Butelman et al, 2020; Butelman, Maremmani, et al, 2018). In unadjusted survival analyses, we did not detect a significant difference in times of heroin escalation between OD + CD and OD groups (log-rank test; not shown).…”

“…This instrument also collects two age-related "milestones": age at first use of a drug and age at onset of heaviest use (in whole years). Time of escalation is calculated as the age at onset of heaviest use minus the age at first use (Butelman et al, 2019(Butelman et al, , 2020. Therefore, the most rapid time of escalation that can be recorded with this instrument is 0 years (i.e., first use and onset of heaviest use occur within the same year).…”

“…While some evidence has suggested an association with previous substance use, personality disorders, and social factors with early age of onset of general substance use [15][16][17][18], few studies have examined factors associated with the age of onset of psychostimulant use specifically. To this end, large publicly available datasets such as the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) are vital in finding potential factors associated with early onset psychostimulant use.…”
