Article Synopsis
- Alcohol consumption in Tanzania is higher than the global average, with the study focusing on how factors like depressive symptoms and cognitive performance influence drinking habits.
- Participants included 2,299 Tanzanian adults, revealing that increased depressive symptoms led to an 8.4% higher likelihood of drinking, but actual consumption decreased by 2.3 drinks for each severity increase in depression.
- The study found that men drank more than women, Christians drank more than Muslims, and cognitive ability played a role in moderating alcohol consumption among middle-aged and elderly adults dealing with depression.
