现有的用于识别和衡量酒精滥用的工具不适合用于老年人，因为这些措施标准化的年轻人与老年人之间存在差异。报告讨论了用于衡量酗酒的五个领域-消费水平、与酒精有关的社会和法律的问题、与酒精有关的健康问题、醉酒或依赖的症状以及对问题的自我认识-以及这些领域（目前衡量的）在多大程度上适用于老年人。提出了开发适合老年人使用的仪器的建议。
Existing instruments for identifying and measuring alcohol abuse are inappropriate for use with elderly populations because of differences between the younger populations on which these measures were standardized and the elderly. Five domains used in measuring alcohol abuse--level of consumption, alcohol-related social and legal problems, alcohol-related health problems, symptoms of drunkenness or dependence and self-recognition of the problem--and the extent to which these domains (as currently measured) apply to elderly populations are discussed. Some recommendations for developing instruments suitable for the elderly are made.
