Regarding the health-disease correlation, it is one of the main determinants of health, from an epidemiological point of view, and has been a traditional object of study from different perspectives and in diverse population groups.Objective To compare consumption patterns and related variables in two different groups: patients in mental health units and workers in general.Materials and methods Cross-sectional study in a population of 1 180 service workers and 304 patients in a mental health unit. Sociodemographic and work aspects, as well as pattern of alcohol consumption were analyzed for both populations.Results Differences in both groups were observed regarding the number of consumers, quantity of consumption and type of beverages consumed, differences that disappear, in part, when comparing groups of workers of both population samples.Conclusions Differences in the consumption pattern of both populations lead to different preventive-assistance strategies and to the need for implementing coordinated actions by specific programs among those affected. 2018 artículo científico 2357-3848 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=576364218005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576364218005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576364218005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576364218005/576364218005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5763/576364218005/movil 10.15446/revfacmed.v66n2.63324 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5763 Revista de la Facultad de Medicina application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revista de la Facultad de Medicina (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.66
