The Tromsø Study 1979-1980 collected information on alcohol (beer, wine and spirits) consumption frequency and inebriation frequency, and the oldest male participants (aged 50-54 years) were followed for all-cause mortality. This study aimed to identify the impact of habitual alcohol consumption in mid-life on reaching up to 90 years of age.
Among the study sample of 778, a total of 120 (15.4%) men reached the age of 90. The most common reported alcohol consumption frequency was 'never or a few times a year', and 18.9% of those in this group reached 90 compared with 11.9% of those who reported a more frequent beer consumption. Fifty per cent survival in these groups was 80.5 and 76.9 years, respectively. The pattern was similar for spirits consumption and for inebriation but not for wine consumption. Number of deaths increased gradually with increasing beer and spirits consumption frequency and with inebriation frequency. We observed no J-shape or pattern that revealed a beneficial influence of light alcohol consumption. Daily smoking, physical inactivity, marital status, blood pressure and total cholesterol reduced the contribution of alcohol consumption to a small degree.
1979-1980 年特罗姆瑟研究收集了关于酒精（啤酒、葡萄酒和烈酒）消费频率和醉酒频率的信息，对年龄在 50-54 岁的最年长男性参与者进行了全因死亡率随访。本研究旨在确定中年习惯性饮酒对达到 90 岁高龄的影响。
在研究样本的 778 名男性中，共有 120 名（15.4%）达到 90 岁。报告的最常见饮酒频率是“从不或每年几次”，其中 18.9%的人达到 90 岁，而报告更频繁饮用啤酒的人中，这一比例为 11.9%。这些组的 50%生存率分别为 80.5 岁和 76.9 岁。对于烈酒消费和醉酒情况，这种模式类似，但对于葡萄酒消费则不然。随着啤酒和烈酒消费频率以及醉酒频率的增加，死亡人数逐渐增加。我们没有观察到 J 形或表明轻度饮酒有益影响的模式。每日吸烟、身体活动不足、婚姻状况、血压和总胆固醇在一定程度上降低了酒精消费的作用。
