Abstract

The CAGE scale has been used as a screening device for problem drinkers in a general population survey. The study was conducted in the fall of 1992 on 2,500 individuals, aged 14-70 years, who live in the region of Castile and Leon (Spain). Alcohol was consumed at least once a week by 51.3% of those surveyed. A total of 136 drinkers (10.6% of "weekly" drinkers, 5.4% of total sample) had positive CAGE scores, as determined by two or more affirmative answers, 120 men (14.3%) and 16 women (3.6%). Those with CAGE positive scores consumed a daily mean of 57.5 grams of pure alcohol per day. The utility of the CAGE scale in a general population survey and the difficulties in applying it are discussed.

摘要

CAGE量表已被用作一般人群调查中问题饮酒者的筛查工具。该研究于1992年秋季对居住在卡斯蒂利亚-莱昂地区（西班牙）的2500名年龄在14至70岁之间的个体进行。51.3%的受访者每周至少饮酒一次。根据两个或更多肯定回答确定，共有136名饮酒者（占“每周”饮酒者的10.6%，占总样本的5.4%）CAGE评分呈阳性，其中男性120名（14.3%），女性16名（3.6%）。CAGE评分呈阳性的人平均每天饮用57.5克纯酒精。本文讨论了CAGE量表在一般人群调查中的效用及其应用中的困难。
