Abstract

The analysis employed a panel random-effects ordered probit model to investigate the relationship between socio-demographic and economic factors of individuals and the probabilities of alcohol consumption. The study utilized data from the 2019 Turkey Health Survey (TSA) conducted by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK). The findings of the study reveal a significant statistical association between the socio-demographic and economic factors of family members or the family itself and the likelihoods of alcohol consumption at specific levels. The research identified that, in comparison to females, males had a higher likelihood of alcohol consumption, as did employed individuals compared to the unemployed, those with formal education in contrast to those without, individuals with private health insurance as opposed to those without, those engaged in physical exercise compared to those who were not, those with depression in contrast to those without, smokers compared to non-smokers, and individuals with medium to high incomes in comparison to those with lower incomes. Furthermore, a negative relationship was observed between alcohol consumption likelihoods and factors such as being overweight, having children, fruit consumption, and having a large household. Notably, individuals with a high school or university education level exhibited higher likelihoods of alcohol consumption. Those who consumed alcohol were found to have a higher risk of smoking and experiencing depression.

Alkol Tüketme Olasılığının Altında Yatan Gizli Faktörlerin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Çalışmada, ailelerin veya bireylerin sosyo-demografik ve ekonomik faktörleri ile alkol tüketim olasılığı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla panel rastgele-etki sıralı probit modeli kullanılarak analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizde Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu (TÜİK) tarafından oluşturulan 2019 yılına ait Türkiye Sağlık Araştırması (TSA) anket verileri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonuçları, aile bireylerinin veya ailenin sosyo-demografik ve ekonomik faktörlerinin belirli kademedeki alkol tüketim olasılıkları ile önemli istatistiksel bir ilişkinin varlığı söz konusudur. Araştırmada erkeklerin kadınlara, çalışanların çalışmayanlara, resmi eğitim almış bireylerin almamışlara, bireysel sağlık sigortası olanların olmayanlara, spor yapanların yapmayanlara, depresyonlu olanların olmayanlara, sigara içenlerin içmeyenlere ve orta ile yüksek gelirlilerin düşük gelirlilere göre alkol tüketim olasılıklarının daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, kilolu olmak, çocuk sahibi olmak, meyve alımı ve kalabalık bir hane halkına sahip olmak ile alkol tüketme olasılıkları arasında negatif yönlü bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Özellikle lise ve üniversite düzeyinde eğitim almış bireylerin alkol tüketme olasılıklarının daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Alkol tüketen bireylerin sigara içme ve depresyona girme riskleri daha yüksek bulunmuştur.
