“…Due to the complex nature of alcoholism, numerous definitions exist; however, a widely accepted definition of this condition that could be used in different medical fields has not been developed yet (1,2). According to Jellinek (3), alcoholism is every use of alcohol harmful to the individual, society, or both (3).…”

Introduction:Currently, there is a growing interest in alcoholism-related studies among healthcare community. Cigarette smoking is five times more prevalent among adult men compared to women but these gender differences have been decreasing among young people. In developed countries, harmful effects of sedentary lifestyle and physical inactivity have led to increased rates of obesity in young population. The main aim of this study was to explore the lifestyles of students at the University of Sarajevo. We investigated the prevalence of cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption, eating habits, and physical activity in this student population.

“…In a sample of 14,063 Canadian residents using four types of alcohol measures (frequency, usual and maximum quantity per occasion, volume, and heavy episodic drinking) and two types of depression measures (major depression, and recent depressed affect) Graham et al, 2007 revealed that major depression was primarily related to drinking large quantities of alcohol per occasion, less related to drinking volume and unrelated to drinking frequency. In another study Blow et al [27] reported that individual's at-risk and problem drinking elevated the risk of depressive symptoms. Results of a fourteen years longitudinal study revealed that at the baseline and 14-year follow-up alcohol consumption was linearly and positively associated with depressive symptoms; prevalence of symptoms increased with greater alcohol consumption [28].…”

Objective-This study examines the magnitude of association between alcohol misuse with recent depressive symptoms.Methods-A cross-sectional study of 412 randomly selected patients ≥18 seeking ED care.Results-51.0% reported depressive symptoms. At-risk drinking was reported by 26.0% of the sample, 28.2% scored positive for RAPS4. Alcohol abuse, and Binge drinking were reported by 25.1% and 28% of the patients, respectively. According to our results at-risk drinking (OR 2.49; CI 1.47-4.20; P ≤ .001), problem drinking (OR 2.11; CI 1.27-3.51; P ≤ .004), drinking abuse (OR 2.58; CI 1.51-4.40; P < .001), and binge drinking (OR 1.89; CI 1.13-3.15; P < .001) were all related to manifestation of depression symptoms.Conclusion-The findings of this study yield information that could be used by emergency department health care practitioners and health educators to educate ED patients at-risk for alcohol misuse and depression.

“…Con respecto a la etiología de la PD en esta población, se ha reportado que factores como la muerte de seres queridos, las enfermedades médicas, la pérdida del trabajo y el retiro, pueden influir negativamente en el estado de ánimo y en el consumo de alcohol (Blow & Barry, 2003;Blow, Serras, & Barry, 2007). Un estudio realizado en población general de la tercera edad en México identificó que el diagnóstico de una o más enfermedades concurrentes aumenta las probabilidades de presentar consumo de sustancias (Mendoza-Meléndez et al, 2015).…”

“…Los TCS y OTP en esta población incrementan el riesgo de padecer enfermedades crónico-degenerativas (como diabetes mellitus, cataratas, ceguera, glaucoma, úlcera duodenal y cáncer, entre otras), enfermedades infecciosas, problemas de sueño y de memoria, y demencias (Aguilar-Navarro & Ávila-Funes, 2007; Blow & Barry, 2003;Blow et al, 2007;Caputo et al, 2012;Mendoza-Meléndez et al, 2015).…”

“…Además, un estudio realizado con usuarios de los servicios de salud para veteranos encontró que los pacientes de edad avanzada (mayor a 55 años) con PD usan menos los servicios de tratamiento y requieren estancias más extendidas en hospitalización (Kerfoot, Petrakis, & Rosenheck, 2011). En cuanto al tratamiento, las intervenciones terapéuticas breves (Blow & Barry, 2003;Blow et al, 2007), la terapia cognitivo conductual, la terapia comunitaria (D'Agostino, Barry, Blow, & Podgorski, 2006) y la participación en grupos de ayuda mutua, en conjunto con el tratamiento farmacológico (Oslin, Liberto, O'Brien, Krois, & Norbeck, 1997;Satre, Blow, Chi, & Weisner, 2007), han mostrado resultados promisorios en esta población. Finalmente se sabe que en algunos casos, la prevención de recaídas puede resultar mejor en adultos mayores que en pacientes más jóvenes, pues los primeros se mantienen en abstinencia hasta después de cuatro años de haber recibido el tratamiento (Satre et al, 2004;Satre et al, 2007).…”

RESUMENIntroducción: la patología dual se refiere a la concurrencia de un trastorno por consumo de sustancias con otro trastorno psiquiátrico. Estudios epidemiológicos en población general reportan una alta prevalencia de patología dual. Sin embargo, la información disponible sobre el tema en poblaciones especiales es limitada. Objetivo: revisar la evidencia disponible sobre la epidemiología, la atención y los aspectos relevantes para la salud pública acerca de la patología dual en las siguientes poblaciones especiales: personas en situación de indigencia, en prisión, con VIH, VHB y VHC, mujeres y adultos mayores. Método: búsqueda en bases de datos bibliográficos (PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO y OVID) de reportes de investigación enfocados en la prevalencia y el tratamiento de patología dual en las poblaciones mencionadas. Resultados: la prevalencia de la patología dual se presenta de manera diferenciada en estas poblaciones, en comparación con la población general; además está altamente asociada con mayores tasas de morbilidad y mortalidad. La mayoría de los estudios específicos sobre patología dual y las poblaciones especiales, tanto de epidemiología como de tratamientos, se ha realizado en países de alto ingreso. Discusión y conclusiones: se requiere de políticas públicas que contemplen la medición epidemiológica de la patología dual en estas poblaciones, sobre todo en países de mediano y bajo ingreso, e incluyan intervenciones integradas adecuadas a las necesidades específicas de cada población.Palabras clave: patología dual; grupos minoritarios; epidemiología; revisión. ABSTRACTBackground: dual disorders is a term that refers to the co-occurrence of a substance use disorder with other mental disorders. Epidemiological studies have reported a high prevalence of dual disorders in the general population. However, information on dual disorders in special population is limited. Objective: to give an overview of the available evidence on the epidemiology, care and other relevant aspects for public health of dual disorders in the following special populations: homeless, prison inmates, people with sexually-transmitted infections, and the elderly. Method: search in peer-review publication databases (PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO and OVID) for research reports on the epidemiology and treatment of dual pathology in the aforementioned populations. Results: prevalence of dual disorders in these populations appears to be different than in the general population; and it is highly associated with higher mortality and morbidity rates. The majority of studies aimed specifically on the epidemiology and treatment of dual disorders and special populations has been conducted in high-income countries. Discussion and conclusions: there is a need for public policies that consider the epidemiological assessment of dual disorders in special populations, specially in low-and middle-income countries, and include integrated care interventions adequate to the specific needs of each population.
