Abstract

Aimed at proposing a strategy for the prevention of alcoholism in twins an epidemiological, analytical and cross-sectional research was carried out during February - March 2007 in Pinar del Rio province. The universe was taken from the National Records of twins, studying clinical, epidemiological and genealogical behavior of alcohol consumption in twins. To collect the information a survey and a genealogical tree for each family were made. Also calculating twin's concordance for the par, case rate and inheritance; data were presented in tables and graphics; prevailing alcoholic patients older than 40 years old and male sex. Familial history of alcoholism resulted statistically significant in the group of first degree relatives. The concordance was greater in monozygotic than in dizygotic twins and genetic contribution for the alcoholism reached 66%. A strategy based on the principles of genetic advice to prevent alcoholism was created.
