    Objetivo. Medir la prevalencia de consumo riesgoso y dañino de alcohol en la poblaciĂłn amparada por el Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS). Material y mĂ©todos. En un estudio transversal se entrevistaron 45 117 derechohabientes del IMSS, en las 36 delegaciones del paĂ­s. Se aplicĂł un cuestionario estructurado y autoaplicable a cada sujeto usando el instrumento de tamizaje AUDIT (Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test), el cual consta de 10 preguntas. Las tres primeras se relacionan con la cantidad y frecuencia del consumo de alcohol, las tres siguientes evalĂșan la dependencia y las cuatro Ășltimas se refieren a problemas causados por el alcohol. Cada pregunta consta de tres a cinco opciones, a las que se les asignan valores progresivos de cero a cuatro. Se estimĂł la prevalencia de consumo, con intervalos de confianza al 95% (IC 95%). Resultados. La prevalencia de consumo problema de alcohol (riesgoso y dañino) fue de 12.8% (IC 95% 12.5-13.2). El consumo fue mayor en hombres (22.2%; IC 95% 21.7-22.8) que en mujeres (3.4%; IC 95% 3.1-3.6). En los hombres se observĂł un efecto de edad, mientras que en las mujeres el consumo por edad fue mĂĄs homogĂ©neo. En ambos grupos el consumo fue mĂĄs importante en la edad productiva. Conclusiones. La prevalencia de consumo de alcohol que constituye un problema para la salud, es elevada en la poblaciĂłn derechohabiente del IMSS. Es necesario desarrollar polĂ­ticas y programas de salud especĂ­ficos, para disminuir este grave problema

    International audienceSignificance There is growing evidence that preexisting autoantibodies neutralizing type I interferons (IFNs) are strong determinants of life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia. It is important to estimate their quantitative impact on COVID-19 mortality upon SARS-CoV-2 infection, by age and sex, as both the prevalence of these autoantibodies and the risk of COVID-19 death increase with age and are higher in men. Using an unvaccinated sample of 1,261 deceased patients and 34,159 individuals from the general population, we found that autoantibodies against type I IFNs strongly increased the SARS-CoV-2 infection fatality rate at all ages, in both men and women. Autoantibodies against type I IFNs are strong and common predictors of life-threatening COVID-19. Testing for these autoantibodies should be considered in the general population
