There is little knowledge about the consumption of alcohol among Chinese and Norwegian older adults aged 65 years and over. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and factors related to alcohol consumption among older adults in China and Norway.
The Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) data in 2008-2009 conducted in China and The Nord-Trøndelag Health Study data in 2006-2008 (HUNT3) conducted in Norway were used. Mulitvariable logistic regression was used to test the factors related to alcohol consumption.
The prevalence of participants who drink alcohol in the Chinese and Norwegian sample were 19.88% and 46.2%, respectively. The weighted prevalence of participants with consumption of alcohol in the Chinese sample of women and men were 7.20% and 34.14%, respectively. In the Norwegian sample, the prevalence of consumption of alcohol were 43.31% and 65.35% for women and men, respectively. Factors such as younger age, higher level of education, living in urban areas, living with spouse or partner, and better health status were related to higher likelihood of alcohol consumption among Norwegian older women and men; while reported better health status and poorer life satisfaction were related to higher likelihood of alcohol consumption among Chinese. In addition, rural males and older females with higher level of education were more likely to consume alcohol.
The alcohol consumption patterns were quite different between China and Norway. Besides economic development levels and cultures in the two different countries, demographic characteristics, socioeconomic status, overall health status, and life satisfaction were associated with alcohol consumption as well.
对于65岁及以上的中国和挪威老年人的饮酒情况了解甚少。本研究的目的是调查中国和挪威老年人饮酒的患病率及相关因素。
使用了2008 - 2009年在中国进行的中国老年健康影响因素跟踪调查（CLHLS）数据以及2006 - 2008年在挪威进行的北特伦德拉格健康研究数据（HUNT3）。采用多变量逻辑回归来检验与饮酒相关的因素。
中国和挪威样本中饮酒参与者的患病率分别为19.88%和46.2%。中国样本中女性和男性饮酒参与者的加权患病率分别为7.20%和34.14%。在挪威样本中，女性和男性饮酒的患病率分别为43.31%和65.35%。年龄较小、教育水平较高、居住在城市地区、与配偶或伴侣同住以及健康状况较好等因素与挪威老年女性和男性饮酒的可能性较高有关；而报告健康状况较好和生活满意度较低与中国老年人饮酒的可能性较高有关。此外，教育水平较高的农村男性和老年女性更有可能饮酒。
中国和挪威的饮酒模式差异很大。除了两国不同的经济发展水平和文化外，人口特征、社会经济地位、总体健康状况和生活满意度也与饮酒有关。
