Study reveals certain occupations may be linked with heavy drinking ANI | Updated: Feb 24, 2021 09:26 IST
Washington [US], February 24 (ANI): A new study has found that working in certain occupations may be associated with a higher likelihood of heavy drinking in people aged 40-69 years.
The research was published in the open-access journal BMC Public Health . The findings could be used to help target public health or work-based interventions aiming to reduce heavy drinking, according to the authors.
Researchers at the University of Liverpool found that jobs classified as skilled trade occupations, such as construction and manufacturing jobs, were most likely to be associated with heavy drinking. While jobs broadly categorised as professional occupations, for example, doctors and teachers were associated with a lower likelihood of heavy drinking.
Occupational Risk For Heavy Drinking by Anjanee Sharma on February 24, 2021 at 6:05 PM
Research from the UK shows that people aged 40-69 years working in certain occupations may have a higher likelihood of heavy drinking.
Jobs classified as skilled trade occupations (like construction and manufacturing) were most likely to contribute to heavy drinking. In contrast, those categorized as professional occupations (like medicine and teaching) were associated with a low likelihood of heavy drinking.
Andrew Thompson, corresponding author of the study, explained that consuming alcohol heavily increases the risk of physical and mental harm. Understanding which occupations are associated with heavy drinking can help target resources and interventions.
