Abstract
Alcohol and drugs use is a global problem, causing both social and public health chaos in many countries. This study was designed to assess the alcohol consumption and anthropometric characteristics of commercial motorists and motorcyclists. The study was cross-sectional in nature. Four hundred respondents in selected motor parks and motorcyclist parks were selected using random sampling, participated in the study. Data from the study was derived through interviewer-administered questionnaires to collect data on socio-demographic and economic variables, anthropometric characteristics, and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was used. The mean age of the respondents was 34.79±11.31. Half (52.3 %) of the respondents had no risk of alcohol consumption, 25.3% had low risk of alcohol consumption, 14.3% had moderate risk of alcohol consumption and 8.3% was high risk of alcohol consumption. Among the respondents, 67.3% had normal body mass index. Majority (71.3%) had high risk of abdominal obesity using the waist-to-hip ratio. Summarily, most of the respondents have high risk of abdominal obesity and should be educated to take deliberate efforts to reduce alcohol drinking.
