abstract="BACKGROUND: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the association  between binge and heavy drinking and self-reported current depression (SRCD) in a  representative population-based sample of adults residing in Brazil. <br><br>METHODS: The  sample for this study was based on the 2013 Brazilian National Health Survey. SRCD  was accessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8), a valid eight-item  depression measure for population-based studies instrument. The association between  binge/heavy drinking and SRCD was investigated using weighted and adjusted  multivariable logistic regression models. <br><br>RESULTS: Out of the final study sample of  59 399 Brazilians, 47.2% were young adults, 34.6% were middle age adults and 52.4%  were females. The prevalence of binge drinking was 13.8%, of heavy drinking was 3.2%  and SRCD was 7.6%. There was a significant weighted and adjusted association between  binge drinking and SRCD among young and middle age females (OR = 1.5, 95% CI:1.1-2.0  and OR = 0.6, 95% CI:0.4-0.8, respectively) and between heavy drinking and SRCD  among young and middle age males (OR = 1.8, 95% CI:1.2-2.8 and OR = 2.5, 95%  CI:1.5-4.1, respectively). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The possible protective factor of binge  drinking for SRCD among middle-aged Brazilian females needs to be further  investigated and understood. Longitudinal research is needed to provide further  evidence of associations found in this study.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
