The consumption of alcohol by women in Sweden is strongly increasing, especially in younger individuals. Since the rediscovery of the teratological properties of alcohol most of the studies concerning foetal alcohol damage in man have covered female skid row alcoholics. This investigation describes the medical and social characteristics of a group of women (n = 92) receiving inpatient care for alcoholism compared with an age-matched control group, in relation to obstetrical history. The conditions in the control group were in accord with those of the general population. Social problems and degree of alcoholism were noticeably advanced among the probands. The proband women who gave birth after established regular alcohol consumption were younger, showed more psychiatric complications during the treatment period, had started drinking and developing signs of advanced alcoholism earlier in life compared with probands who gave birth before established regular alcohol consumption. They also exhibited more social disturbances. The social problems caused by the mothers' alcohol abuse are expected to aggravate the biological consequences to their children.
瑞典女性的酒精消费量正在大幅上升，尤其是在年轻人群体中。自从重新发现酒精的致畸特性以来，大多数关于人类胎儿酒精损伤的研究都集中在女性流浪酗酒者身上。本调查描述了一组接受住院戒酒治疗的女性（n = 92）与年龄匹配的对照组相比的医学和社会特征，并涉及她们的产科病史。对照组的情况与普通人群一致。先证者的社会问题和酗酒程度明显更严重。与在形成规律饮酒习惯之前生育的先证者相比，在形成规律饮酒习惯之后生育的先证者女性更年轻，在治疗期间出现更多精神并发症，更早开始饮酒并出现晚期酒精中毒迹象。她们还表现出更多社会干扰。母亲酗酒所导致的社会问题预计会加重对其子女的生物学影响。
