Both the age at onset of alcohol use and a family history of alcoholism can influence a person's risk of becoming alcohol dependent. The relationship between lifetime alcohol dependence, age at first alcohol use, and a family history of alcoholism was investigated using data obtained in the 1992 National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiologic Survey. This analysis demonstrated that regardless of the family history of alcoholism, respondents with an earlier age of drinking onset were more likely to become alcohol dependent compared with respondents with a later age of drinking onset. Among all age, race, and gender subgroups studied, however, people with a family history of alcoholism had a higher prevalence of lifetime alcohol dependence than did people without such a history.
开始饮酒的年龄以及酗酒家族史都会影响一个人酒精成瘾的风险。利用1992年全国酒精使用纵向流行病学调查所获得的数据,对终生酒精成瘾、首次饮酒年龄以及酗酒家族史之间的关系进行了研究。该分析表明,无论有无酗酒家族史,与开始饮酒年龄较晚的受访者相比,开始饮酒年龄较早的受访者更有可能酒精成瘾。然而,在所有研究的年龄、种族和性别亚组中,有酗酒家族史的人终生酒精成瘾的患病率高于没有这种家族史的人。
