流行病学调查数据被用来研究酒精使用和滥用之间的关系和老年公共住房居民（加权n = 865）的身心健康状况，并确定饮酒行为对死亡率的影响。目前患有酒精障碍的居民（4%）更有可能将他们的身体健康评定为公平/差，但患有重大医疗疾病，功能障碍和其他当前精神疾病的人数较少。在28个月的随访期间，目前或过去有酒精障碍的人（22%）比其他人更容易死亡（比值比[OR] = 7.5）。在多变量分析中，过去有酒精障碍的女性比终生戒酒者更容易死亡（OR = 21.9）。饮酒行为并不能预测男性的死亡。酒精障碍的高患病率及其对这一主要为非洲裔美国女性人口的死亡率的强烈影响表明，有必要制定旨在预防和治疗老年人公共住房开发中酗酒的方案。
Epidemiologic survey data were used to examine relationships between alcohol use and abuse and the physical and mental health status of elderly public housing residents (weighted n = 865) and to determine the influence that drinking behavior had on mortality. Residents with a current alcohol disorder (4%) were more likely to rate their physical health as fair/poor but had fewer major medical illnesses, functional impairments, and other current psychiatric disorders. Individuals with a current or past alcohol disorder (22%) were more likely than others to die (odds ratio [OR] = 7.5) during the 28-month follow-up period. In multivariate analyses, women with a past alcohol disorder were more likely than lifetime abstainers to die (OR = 21.9). Drinking behavior was not predictive of death in men. The high prevalence of alcohol disorder and its strong influence on mortality in this predominantly African-American female population demonstrate the need for programs designed to prevent and treat alcoholism in public housing developments for the elderly.
