使用2005年全国健康和发病率调查的数据，我们检查了丹麦饮酒与性别和年龄的关系。在受邀参与的21,832名受试者中，有14,566人完成了调查。对于整个研究人群，仅限于重度饮酒者(男性每周标准饮酒量为21杯；女性为14杯)，我们计算了在不同饮酒环境中表明饮酒的每个年龄组和性别组的患病率。为了比较不同年龄组之间大量使用的情况，我们估计了每一组与16-20岁年龄组相比的患病率，并对性别进行了调整。结果显示，超过68%的研究人群在社交场合饮酒，例如在家中与家人和朋友一起/拜访家人和朋友，或在派对场合。我们在男性和女性中发现了类似的模式；然而，男性在工作和休闲时间饮酒的比例更高。大多数酗酒者还在社交和派对场合饮酒。在重度饮酒者中，45岁-的人群中仅在家中饮酒的比例是16-20岁人群的8倍。我们得出的结论是，饮酒环境与性别和年龄有关。我们的发现为丹麦的酒精使用提供了有用的洞察，并将使我们能够更好地了解与酒精使用相关的许多方面。
Using data from the National Health and Morbidity Survey from 2005, we examined the contexts of alcohol use in Denmark in relation to gender and age. Among the 21,832 subjects invited to participate, 14,566 completed the survey. For the entire study population and restricted to heavy users (> 21 standard drinks per week for males; > 14 for females), we computed the prevalence of each age and gender group who indicated to drink alcohol in different drinking contexts. To compare the contexts for heavy use between age groups, we estimated prevalence ratios for each group compared to the 16-20-year-old age group, with adjustments for gender. Results showed that more than 68% of the study population drank alcohol in social contexts, such as at home with/visiting family and friends, or in party contexts. We found similar patterns among males and females; however, there was a predominance of males for drinking alcohol during work and leisure-times. The majority of heavy users also drank alcohol in social and party contexts. Among heavy users, drinking at home alone was eight times more prevalent among those aged 45-64 compared with those aged 16-20 years. We concluded that drinking contexts varied in relation to gender and age. Our findings provided useful insight into contexts for alcohol use in Denmark and will enable us to understand better some of the many aspects associated with alcohol use.
