美国拉美裔人的衰老和饮酒之间的关系还没有得到很好的理解。 本研究使用西班牙裔健康和营养检查调查的数据来描述居住在美国大陆的墨西哥裔美国人，古巴裔美国人和波多黎各人的酒精消费的生命过程模式。 墨西哥裔美国人和波多黎各男性之间的消费模式的年龄差异被认为反映了老龄化的影响，如前饮酒者的百分比增加，再加上在所有年龄段的戒酒者的百分比一直很低。 在古巴男性中，中年和老年男性的群组效应表现为年轻时的低比率持续存在，以及中年和老年群组与年轻群组的比率之间的巨大差异。 发现所有三组女性之间的年龄差异反映了队列效应，所有年龄组中终身戒酒者的比例很大。
The relationship between aging and drinking among U.S. Hispanics is not well understood. The present study used data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to describe life-course patterns of alcohol consumption among Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans, and Puerto Ricans residing in the mainland United States. Age differences in patterns of consumption among Mexican American and Puerto Rican males were found to reflect aging effects, as evidenced by increasing percentages of former drinkers coupled with consistently low percentages of abstainers at all ages. Among Cuban males, cohort effects were evidenced for middle-aged and older men by a continuation of low rates from younger years, as well as a sharp difference between the rates of the middle-aged and older cohorts and those of the younger cohort. Age differences among all three groups of females were found to reflect cohort effects, as evidenced by large proportions of life-long abstainers across all age cohorts.
