Alcohol and Aging
The latest Alcohol Alert bulletin published by the National Institute
on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) focuses on alcohol and the
elderly.
As our older population increases, the diagnosis and treatment of
alcohol related problems becomes more important. Studies conducted
in health care settings have found an increasing prevalence of
alcoholism among the elderly. Because alcohol related consequences
are often mistaken by health care professionals for other conditions
related to aging, segments of this population may go undiagnosed,
untreated, or treated inappropriately. For more details please see
NIAAA's Alcohol Alert #40- Alcohol and Aging at the Institute's web
site: http://www.niaaa.nih.gov
