| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 01R0xIVq. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We used several different guidelines for appropriate alcohol use to identify patterns of high-risk alcohol consumption among older women and men and examined associations between these patterns and late-life alcohol use problems. Methods : A sample of 1291 older adults participated in a survey of alcohol consumption and alcohol use problems and was studied again 10 years later. Results : Depending on the guideline, 23% to 50% of women and 29% to 45% of men engaged in potentially unsafe alcohol use patterns. The likelihood of risky alcohol use declined over the 10 years ; however, the numbers of drinks consumed per week and per day were associated with alcohol use problems at both assessment intervals. Conclusion : Our findings imply that guidelines for alcohol consumption should be no more liberal for older men than for older women. |
