Longitudinal studies of drinking behavior have reported inconsistent changes in drinking behavior as people age. Thus, this study aims to characterize the changes in drinking behavior among Korean adults and to reveal differences in their demographics, depression, and suicidal thoughts. This study used the Korea Welfare Panel Study data over nine years (2009 to 2017), analyzing a total of 7506 participants. Growth mixture modeling was applied to classify patterns of change in drinking in these participants. The χ test and analysis of variance were used to analyze the differences in demographics, depression, and suicidal thoughts according to patterns of change in drinking. Changes in drinking among Korean adults were categorized into four types: "high-risk retention", "medium-risk to high-risk", "high-risk to low-risk", and "low-risk retention". Gender, age, education, marital status, living arrangement, living area, and depression differed among these groups. : We identified four types of changes in adult drinking behavior in South Korea, which varied in their demographics and depression levels. These results suggest that tailoring interventions to the type of behavioral changes might be more useful than batch interventions.
纵向研究报告称，随着人们年龄的增长，饮酒行为会发生不一致的变化。因此，本研究旨在描述韩国成年人饮酒行为的变化，并揭示其在人口统计学、抑郁和自杀意念方面的差异。本研究使用了韩国福利面板研究数据（2009 年至 2017 年），共分析了 7506 名参与者。采用增长混合模型对这些参与者的饮酒行为变化模式进行分类。采用卡方检验和方差分析，根据饮酒行为变化模式分析人口统计学、抑郁和自杀意念的差异。韩国成年人的饮酒变化可分为四种类型：“高风险保持”、“中高风险”、“高风险到低风险”和“低风险保持”。性别、年龄、教育程度、婚姻状况、居住安排、居住地区和抑郁程度在这些组之间存在差异。：我们在韩国确定了成年人饮酒行为的四种变化类型，它们在人口统计学和抑郁程度上有所不同。这些结果表明，针对行为变化类型量身定制干预措施可能比批量干预措施更有效。
