The relationship between amount of alcohol consumption and social, psychological, and cognitive status was examined in 270 healthy, independently living men and women over age 65. Forty-eight per cent of the sample recorded some alcohol intake during a three-day diet record, with 8 per cent drinking 30 or more grams of alcohol daily. Alcohol intake was positively associated with male gender, income, and amount of education and negatively associated with age. Alcohol intake was not associated with any changes in social or psychological status, but was positively associated with several measurements of cognitive status. These correlations were weak, however, and tended to disappear after controlling for income, education, gender, and age. Past alcohol intake was not associated with any indicators of present social, psychological, or cognitive functioning.
对270名65岁以上健康、独立生活的男性和女性，研究了酒精摄入量与社会、心理和认知状态之间的关系。在一份为期三天的饮食记录中，48%的样本记录了有酒精摄入，其中8%的人每天饮酒30克或更多。酒精摄入量与男性性别、收入和教育程度呈正相关，与年龄呈负相关。酒精摄入量与社会或心理状态的任何变化均无关联，但与认知状态的多项测量指标呈正相关。然而，这些相关性较弱，在控制收入、教育程度、性别和年龄后往往消失。过去的酒精摄入量与目前社会、心理或认知功能的任何指标均无关联。
