Abstract

Objective To analyze the correlation between alcohol dependence tendency and agricultural injury in rural residents over 15 years old in Hainan province. Methods A total of 1776 rural residents over 15 years old from 5 counties of Hainan province were investigated by CAGE simple scale and agricultural injury questionnaire. Results The incidence of alcohol dependence tendency was 23.25% in rural residents over 15 years old and 64.5% in people with drinking habits in Hainan province. There was a significant difference in the incidence of agricultural injuries between those with alcohol dependence tendency and those without alcohol dependence tendency (χ² = 19.533, P < 0.001), and those with alcohol dependence tendency had a higher incidence of agricultural injuries than those without alcohol dependence tendency. Conclusion The incidence of alcohol dependence tendency is higher in rural residents over 15 years old in Hainan province, especially in people with drinking habits. Residents' alcohol dependence tendency is related to the incidence of agricultural injuries. Residents' alcohol dependence tendency is a risk factor of agricultural injuries. Controlling alcohol consumption is one of the main measures to prevent agricultural injuries.
