最引人注目的发现是，在韩国首尔的男性中，使用DSMI III标准，酒精滥用的患病率非常高。其他精神疾病的患病率低于密苏里州的圣路易斯。随着目前精神病学的生物学重点，可能会提出关于精神分裂症，情感障碍，甚至酗酒的不同患病率的问题。醛脱氢酶同工酶1的缺陷被假设为减少亚洲人酗酒的患病率。25%的韩国人被发现缺乏这种酶，但尽管如此，他们酗酒的流行率仍高于美国人。文化问题是韩国妇女酗酒率低得多的主要原因。
The most dramatic finding was the very high prevalance of alcohol abuse, using DSMI I I criteria, among men in Seoul, Korea. The prevalence of other psychiatric disorders was lower than in St. Louis, Missouri. With the current biological emphasis in psychiatry, questions may be raised regarding the different prevalence rates of schizophrenia, affective disorders, and even alcoholism. The deficit of the aldehyde dehydrogenase isoenzyme 1 has been hypothesized to reduce the prevalence of alcohol abuse among Asians. Twenty-five percent of Koreans have been found to be deficient in the enzyme, but despite this their prevalance of alcohol abuse is higher than among Americans. Cultural issues are paramount in the much lower prevalence of alcohol abuse among women in Korea.
