目的和方法。作为欧洲VINTAGE项目的一部分，对科学文献进行了系统审查，以记录酒精对老年人健康和福祉的影响的证据基础，以及有效的政策和预防办法，以应对这一人口中不断增加的部分的问题。结果：共识别文献369篇，从中筛选出78篇。结论。审查证实了关于这一主题的数据缺乏，需要进行更具体的研究。尽管缺乏证据，但老年人似乎对酒精政策、筛查工具和简短干预的反应与年轻人一样好。根据生命周期方法，建议今后将重点放在中年人身上。
Objectives and methods. As part of the European project VINTAGE, a systematic review of scientific literature was undertaken to document the evidence base on the impact of alcohol on the health and well-being of older people, and on effective policies and preventive approaches to face the problem in this steadily increasing segment of the population. Results. 369 references were identified, from which 78 papers were selected. Conclusions. The review confirms the paucity of data on this topic and the need for more specific research. Although there is scarce evidence, the elderly seems to respond equally well to alcohol policy, screening instruments and brief interventions as do younger adults. According to a lifecycle approach, a future focus on the middle aged is also recommended.
