研究20年来挪威男女饮酒情况的变化，以了解这种变化是否导致饮酒方面的性别趋同。重复的横断面研究（1984-86年，1995-97年和2006-08年）的一个大的一般人口生活在一个地理定义的地区（县）在挪威。关于饮酒的信息是基于自我报告问卷。并非所有措施都在所有三次调查中得到评估。成年人饮酒模式在20年内发生了显著变化。戒酒已经变得越来越罕见，而消费和最近饮酒和问题饮酒的比例却有所增加。男性和女性的大多数变化方向相同，但在戒酒、最近饮酒、有问题的饮酒和消费方面，女性已经转向男性的饮酒模式。酗酒（在最近饮酒者中）在两种性别中都有所减少，但男性比女性更多。然而，性别差异的下降是特定于年龄的，并且取决于考虑的饮酒行为和饮料。在过去的2- 30年里，挪威一般人群中的大多数饮酒行为，包括终生问题饮酒史，都存在性别趋同现象，但这种趋同的原因似乎很复杂。本文的在线版本（doi：10.1186/s12889-016-3384-3）包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
To examine changes in men‘s and women’s drinking in Norway over a 20-year period, in order to learn whether such changes have led to gender convergence in alcohol drinking. Repeated cross-sectional studies (in 1984–86, 1995–97, and 2006–08) of a large general population living in a geographically defined area (county) in Norway. Information about alcohol drinking is based on self-report questionnaires. Not all measures were assessed in all three surveys. Adult alcohol drinking patterns have changed markedly over a 20-year period. Abstaining has become rarer while consumption and rates of recent drinking and problematic drinking have increased. Most changes were in the same direction for men and women, but women have moved towards men’s drinking patterns in abstaining, recent drinking, problematic drinking and consumption. Intoxication (among recent drinkers) has decreased in both genders, but more in men than in women. The declines in gender differences, however, were age-specific and varied depending on which drinking behavior and which beverage was taken into account. There has been a gender convergence in most drinking behaviours, including lifetime history of problem drinking, over the past 2–3 decades in this Norwegian general population, but the reasons for this convergence appear to be complex.
