Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronic and progressive disease influenced by genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors. The consequences of alcohol consumption involve alterations in neural circuits of emotion and cognition, as well as in the motor planning circuit. Furthermore, during the natural aging process, several biochemical and functional alterations are also observed with neurological consequences. Thus, considering the consequences of chronic alcohol consumption on neural systems and natural aging process, we aimed to analyze the degree of motor and functional impairment in elderly with chronic alcohol consumption. Sixty elderly underwent an analysis of alcohol consumption profile (Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test – AUDIT) that divided them into a control group (CON) and an alcohol group (ALC). The analysis of quality of life was performed using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), the analysis of motor function was performed using the Borg Scale, the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and the Motor Scale for Elderly (MSE). We were able to conclude that the misuse of alcohol by the elderly promotes significant physical limitations. These limitations result in a worsening of functional capacity of walking and various dimensions of motor ability: fine motor skill, global coordination, balance, body scheme, spatial organization, temporal organization, and general motor aptitude. Besides the physical limitations caused by alcohol use, the quality of life in their physical, mental, and social aspects was reduced. Thus, actions are required to help the elderly understand these losses and exercise control over alcohol misuse.

酒精使用障碍（AUD）是一种受遗传，心理和环境因素影响的慢性和进行性疾病。饮酒的后果涉及情绪和认知的神经回路以及运动计划回路的改变。此外，在自然衰老过程中，还观察到一些生化和功能改变，并产生神经学后果。因此，考虑到长期饮酒对神经系统和自然衰老过程的影响，我们旨在分析长期饮酒的老年人的运动和功能障碍程度。60名老年人接受了酒精消耗状况分析（酒精使用障碍识别测试– AUDIT），将他们分为对照组（CON）和酒精组（ALC）。使用医学成果研究36项简短形式健康调查（SF-36）进行生活质量分析，使用博格量表，六分钟步行测试（6MWT）和老年人运动量表（MSE）。我们可以得出结论，老年人滥用酒精会导致明显的身体限制。这些限制导致行走的功能能力和运动能力的各个方面恶化：精细的运动技能，整体协调，平衡，身体方案，空间组织，时间组织和一般运动能力。除了因饮酒引起的身体限制外，在身体，心理和社会方面的生活质量也下降了。从而，
