A cohort living in Copenhagen County, originally consisting of 1198 persons, 577 men and 621 women, who were 40 years old in 1976, was reexamined in 1981 and again in 1987, 1052 (88%) participated in 1976, 922 (84%) in 1981, and 965 (85%) in 1987. The purpose of this study was to describe alcohol consumption changes in the cohort, with a view to identifying subgroups who significantly change their alcohol consumption behaviour. The same questionnaire was employed all three times to measure the alcohol consumption level and frequency. Alcohol consumption peaked in 1981 (45-years old) with 10.4 drinks on average a week. Men increased 8% and women 37%. There is an overall downward tendency in the consumption frequency among men whereas the opposite is the case among women. The two groups are converging toward a weekly consumption level. It seems now that the women are leading the change in the content of consumption with relatively more wine consumption. Therefore it is concluded that female consumption should be considered a target in future preventive programs.
一个居住在哥本哈根郡的队列，最初由1198人组成，其中男性577人，女性621人，他们在1976年时40岁，于1981年再次接受检查，并在1987年又进行了一次检查。1976年有1052人（88%）参与，1981年有922人（84%）参与，1987年有965人（85%）参与。本研究的目的是描述该队列中饮酒量的变化，以便识别出饮酒行为有显著变化的亚组。三次均使用相同的问卷来测量饮酒量和饮酒频率。饮酒量在1981年（45岁时）达到峰值，平均每周饮酒10.4次。男性增加了8%，女性增加了37%。男性的饮酒频率总体呈下降趋势，而女性则相反。两组正趋向于每周的饮酒量水平。现在看来，女性在饮酒内容的变化方面处于领先地位，饮用葡萄酒的比例相对更高。因此得出结论，女性饮酒应被视为未来预防计划的一个目标。
