Blood alcohol levels were estimated in 141 patients admitted acutely over a one month period to a geriatric unit. Only four (2.8%) had alcohol detectable in their blood. The levels were low, suggesting that alcohol intoxication is not a major factor in the admission of the elderly to hospital.
在一个月的时间里，对141名急性入院到老年病房的患者进行了血液酒精含量评估。只有4名（2.8%）患者血液中可检测到酒精。酒精含量较低，这表明酒精中毒并非老年人入院的主要因素。
