目的：本研究探讨了中产阶级社区老年人的酒精摄入量与健康相关生活质量之间的性别相关性。方法：从 1594 名 50-97 岁的参与者（n = 633 名男性，n = 961 名女性）在 1992 年至 1996 年的一次研究性诊所访问期间以及他们对电话采访和邮寄问卷的答复中获得了有关酒精摄入量和生活质量测量的信息。生活质量衡量标准包括医疗结果研究简表 36 (SF-36)、幸福质量 (QWB) 量表、生活满意度指数-Z (LSI-Z) 和生活满意度调查 (SWLS)。使用贝克抑郁量表（BDI）评估抑郁情绪。根据报告的酒精摄入量，将男性和女性分为四组：不饮酒者、偶尔饮酒者（饮酒 = 3 次/周，但 = 3 次/周且 >= 170 克/周）。 结果：男女平均年龄均为 72 +/- 10 岁。只有 11% 的男性和 17% 的女性不饮酒； 54% 的男性和 40% 的女性表示每周饮酒次数 >= 3 次； 18% 的男性和 7.5% 的女性经常饮酒。在多变量回归分析中，饮酒频率的增加与男性和女性生活质量的提高呈正相关。年龄、体力活动、吸烟、抑郁情绪或常见慢性疾病（包括糖尿病、高血压和心血管疾病）无法解释这种关联。结论：经常饮酒与老年男性和女性生活质量的提高有关。 (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Objective: This study examines the sex-specific association between alcohol intake and health-related quality of life in middle class community-dwelling older adults.Methods: Information on alcohol intake and measures of quality of life were obtained from 1594 participants (n = 633 men, n = 961 women) aged 50-97 years during a research clinic visit in 1992-1996, and from their responses to a phone interview and mailed questionnaires. Quality of life measures included the Medical Outcome Study Short Form 36 (SF-36), Quality of Well-Being (QWB) Scale, Life Satisfaction Index-Z (LSI-Z), and Satisfaction with Life Survey (SWLS). Depressed mood was assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Men and women were stratified into four groups of reported alcohol intake: non-drinker, occasional drinker (alcohol = 3 times/week, but = 3 times/week and >= 170g/week).Results: Average age of both sexes was 72 +/- 10 years. Only 11% of the men and 17% of the women were nondrinkers; 54% of men and 40% of women reported drinking alcohol >= 3 times per week; 18% of men and 7.5% of women were heavier regular drinkers. In multivariable regression analyses, increasing frequency of alcohol use was positively associated with better quality of life in men and in women. Associations were not explained by age, physical activity, smoking, depressed mood, or common chronic diseases including diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease.Conclusions: Regular alcohol consumption is associated with increased quality of life in older men and women.
