[Tobacco and alcohol habits in a hospitalized population in a third level center. Region of Murcia].
The aims of this paper are twofold: to closely study tobacco and alcohol consumption among the adult population in the Autonomous Community of Murcia and to observe the relation between such habits and the morbidity of the population polled. ⋯ We note a decrease in tobacco consumption in the patient population, which is in line with the decrease in tobacco consumption in the general population of Spain as stated in the literature. Wine is the preferred drink of the study population overall, and beer in those aged under fifty years.
