Background: Previous studies have indicated that the alcohol consumption among older Danish individuals has increased during the last three decades of the 20th century. However, the research is limited and, hence, the aim of the present article is to describe the trends and peculiarities in the development of the present situation in older people’s drinking patterns in Denmark. Methods: Data were obtained from the Danish Health and Morbidity Survey (2005) and the Danish National Health Survey (2010, 2013, and 2017). Data used in this study were collected via self-administered questionnaires from random samples of the adult (≥ 16 years) Danish population. Response rates varied between 50.8% (2005) and 59.5% (2010). Drinking patterns are described using the following indicators: alcohol consumption during the past 12 months; alcohol consumption at least two days a week; mean number of standard drinks consumed in a typical week and heavy episodic drinking (at least monthly). Results are presented as percentages or means. Results: The prevalence of overall 12-month alcohol use in all individuals aged 60 years or older has slightly increased between 2010 (83.9%) and 2017 (85.2%). On the other hand, the prevalence of consuming alcohol at least twice a week has overall decreased slightly between 2010 (54.0%) and 2017 (52.0%) in the same age group. A decrease was also observed in the mean number of standard drinks consumed in a typical week, from 8.3 in 2010 to 7.0 in 2017. Additionally, the prevalence of consuming at least five standard drinks on one occasion at least monthly decreased markedly from 24.8% in 2005 to 14.8% in 2013 (the prevalence remained stable between 2013 and 2017). The trends in prevalence of various alcohol indicators varied by sex and age. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest an overall decline in alcohol consumption among older Danes in the study period. The continuation of this trend will be the subject of future studies.

21 世纪丹麦老年人的酒精消费趋势

背景:以前的研究表明,在 20 世纪的最后 30 年中,丹麦老年人的饮酒量有所增加。然而,研究是有限的,因此,本文的目的是描述丹麦老年人饮酒模式现状发展的趋势和特点。方法:数据来自丹麦健康和发病率调查(2005 年)和丹麦国家健康调查(2010 年、2013 年和 2017 年)。本研究中使用的数据是通过对丹麦成年人(≥ 16 岁)随机样本的自我管理问卷收集的。响应率在 50.8%(2005 年)和 59.5%(2010 年)之间变化。饮酒模式使用以下指标进行描述:过去 12 个月的饮酒量;每周至少两天饮酒;在典型的一周内消耗的标准饮料的平均数量和大量的间歇性饮酒(至少每月一次)。结果以百分比或平均值表示。结果:在 2010 年(83.9%)和 2017 年(85.2%)之间,所有 60 岁或以上个体的总体 12 个月饮酒流行率略有增加。另一方面,在 2010 年(54.0%)和 2017 年(52.0%)之间,同一年龄组每周至少饮酒两次的流行率总体略有下降。每周饮用标准饮料的平均数量也有所下降,从 2010 年的 8.3 降至 2017 年的 7.0。此外,至少每月一次饮用至少五种标准饮料的流行率从 2019 年的 24.8% 显着下降。 2005 年至 14 日。2013 年为 8%(2013 年至 2017 年流行率保持稳定)。各种酒精指标的流行趋势因性别和年龄而异。结论:这项研究的结果表明,在研究期间,老年丹麦人的饮酒量总体下降。这种趋势的延续将是未来研究的主题。
