美国人口老龄化正在提供前所未有的使用娱乐性药物的老年人人口。我们的目的是估计过去一年使用大麻的流行趋势，描述模式和态度，并确定50岁及以上成年人使用大麻的相关因素。对2006年至2013年全国药物使用和健康调查的二次分析，这是一项针对美国家庭人口的全国代表性概率样本的横断面调查。USA.共有47140名年龄≥ 50岁的调查受访者。上一年大麻吸毒估计数和趋势。从2006/07年到2012/13年，年龄≥ 50岁的成年人中去年大麻使用的流行率显著增加，50-64岁的成年人相对增加57.8%（线性趋势P < 0.001），年龄≥ 65岁的成年人相对增加250%（线性趋势P = 0.002）。当结合2006年至2013年的数据时，6.9%的老年大麻使用者符合大麻滥用或依赖的标准，大多数样本报告说，每月使用大麻（85.3%）或每周使用大麻（79%）没有风险或风险很小。与非过去一年的大麻使用者相比，过去一年的使用者更有可能是年轻，男性，非西班牙裔，没有多种慢性疾病，并且使用烟草，酒精或其他药物。近年来，美国50岁以上成年人中大麻使用的流行率显著增加。
The ageing US population is providing an unprecedented population of older adults who use recreational drugs. We aimed to estimate the trends in the prevalence of past-year use of cannabis, describe the patterns and attitudes and determine correlates of cannabis use by adults age 50 years and older. Secondary analysis of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health survey from 2006 to 2013, a cross-sectional survey given to a nationally representative probability sample of populations living in US households. USA. A total of 47 140 survey respondents aged ≥ 50 years. Estimates and trends of past-year use of cannabis. The prevalence of past-year cannabis use among adults aged ≥ 50 increased significantly from 2006/07 to 2012/13, with a 57.8% relative increase for adults aged 50–64 (linear trend P < 0.001) and a 250% relative increase for those aged ≥ 65 (linear trend P = 0.002). When combining data from 2006 to 2013, 6.9% of older cannabis users met criteria for cannabis abuse or dependence, and the majority of the sample reported perceiving no risk or slight risk associated with monthly cannabis use (85.3%) or weekly use (79%). Past-year users were more likely to be younger, male, non-Hispanic, not have multiple chronic conditions and use tobacco, alcohol or other drugs compared with non-past-year cannabis users. The prevalence of cannabis use has increased significantly in recent years among US adults aged ≥ 50 years.
