The effect of alcohol consumption on the intake of food nutrients was investigated in elderly residents in a Veterans Administration Domiciliary. When compared with a group of abstainers from the same institution, the imbibers ate fewer food calories (2,140 vs. 2,415 kcal per day) and had lower serum albumin levels (54 vs. 58 per cent total serum protein). The lower caloric intake extended to the three main energy sources (fat, protein, and carbohydrate) and occurred even though ample food was available. In view of the reduced nutrient intake and known impairment of the absorptive process by ethanol, institutionalized elderly alcoholics require special attention to maintain a satisfactory nutritional status.
在一家退伍军人管理局疗养院对老年居民饮酒对食物营养素摄入量的影响进行了调查。与同一机构中的一组戒酒者相比，饮酒者摄入的食物热量较少（每天2140千卡对2415千卡），血清白蛋白水平较低（占总血清蛋白的54%对58%）。较低的热量摄入扩展到三种主要能量来源（脂肪、蛋白质和碳水化合物），即使有充足的食物供应，这种情况仍然存在。鉴于营养摄入量减少以及乙醇对吸收过程的已知损害，机构养老的老年酗酒者需要特别关注以维持令人满意的营养状况。
