目的：（A）通过对不参与进行调整，对酗酒、有害饮酒和酒精依赖流行率的现有估计数进行定性。B）描述重度饮酒者的社会人口统计学相关性。研究方法：数据来自2005年丹麦健康访谈调查，其中包括对14 566人（答复率66.7%）和5 552人（答复率50.9%）的个人访谈，这些人完成了含有酒精使用障碍测试（AUDIT）的自填问卷。重度饮酒者被定义为每周饮酒量> 14/21（女性/男性）。有害酒精使用者和依赖性饮酒者的识别是基于具体的AUDIT问题的评分（有害酒精使用在问题7-10中的评分>= 4，依赖性饮酒者在问题4-6中的评分>= 4）。使用丹麦国家患者登记处的数据对未参与进行调整。结果如下：在丹麦人口中，20%是酗酒者，（862，876人，95%置信区间（95%CI）：672，002 - 1，195，069），14%的人有害饮酒（620，301人，95% CI：439，221 - 944，992），3%为依赖性饮酒者（147，528人，95% CI：118，196 - 188，384）。男性与酗酒有关（比值比（OR）：1.70; 95% CI：1.53-1.89），单身男性（OR：1.27; 95% CI：1.01-1.61）和吸烟者（男性：OR：1.96; 95% CI：1.67-2.30 /女性：OR：2.08; 95% CI：1.72-2.52）。结论：丹麦人口中酗酒者的人数和有害使用酒精的人数大大高于早先的流行率估计数。依赖性饮酒者的数量与先前的估计相似。
Aims: A) To qualify the existing estimates of the prevalence of heavy drinking, harmful alcohol use and alcohol dependency by applying adjustment for non-participation. B) To describe socio-demographic correlates of heavy drinkers. Methods: Data came from the Danish Health Interview Survey 2005, which included a personal interview of 14,566 individuals (response rate 66.7 %), and of 5,552 individuals who completed a self-administered questionnaire containing the Alcohol Use Disorder Test (AUDIT) (response rate 50.9%). Heavy drinkers were defined as consuming > 14/21 drinks/week (women/men). Identification of harmful alcohol users and dependent drinkers was based on the score of specific AUDIT questions (harmful alcohol use a score of >= 4 in questions 7-10, dependent drinkers >= 4 in questions 4-6). Adjustment for non-participation was performed using data from the Danish National Patient Registry. Results: In the Danish population, 20% were heavy drinkers (862,876 persons 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 672,002-1,195,069), 14% had harmful alcohol use (620,301 persons 95% CI: 439,221-944,992), 3% were dependent drinkers (147,528 persons 95% CI: 118,196-188,384). Being male was associated with heavy drinking (odds ratio (OR): 1.70; 95% CI: 1.53-1.89), as was being a single male (OR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.01-1.61) and being a smoker (men: OR: 1.96; 95% CI: 1.67-2.30 / women: OR: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.72-2.52). Conclusions: The number of heavy drinkers in the Danish population and the number of people with harmful alcohol use is considerably higher than earlier prevalence estimates. The number of dependent drinkers is similar to earlier estimates.
