“…Por otro lado, el consumo exagerado de alcohol explicaría una parte importante de la mortalidad por lesiones no intencionadas (accidentes, ahogamiento, hipotermia, quemaduras), intencionadas (suicidio) u otras enfermedades graves que acarrean una elevada mortalidad durante el episodio agudo (Naimi et al, 2003). En todo caso, la mortalidad de pacientes con trastorno por uso de alcohol es elevada y puede llegar a ser hasta 20 veces superior a la de la población general de la misma edad (Fuster et al, 2015;Rivas et al, 2013;Roerecke y Rehm, 2013).…”

“…Given the associated increased morbidity, alcohol problems represent a major economic burden for society (Rehm et al 2009;Roerecke and Rehm 2013). The Alcohol in Europe Report estimated that the direct costs associated with alcohol accounted for 1.3% of the European gross domestic product (GDP), while the indirect costs, such as loss of working-life years, are twice that (Anderson 2006).…”

Background In the present study, we investigated the overall lifestyles of patients with hazardous alcohol use and alcohol dependence who were admitted to the hospital and investigated unhealthy lifestyle factors and their clustering in inpatients. Methods Patients admitted to the gastrointestinal, neurologic or orthopedic departments at Odense University Hospital or to the emergency department at Aabenraa Hospital in the inclusion period, October 2013 to June 2016, completed a lifestyle questionnaire asking questions about their diet, alcohol consumption, exercise and smoking habits. Patients were divided into three groups depending on their score from the alcohol use disorder identification test, which was embedded in the lifestyle questionnaire, and odds ratios were calculated using logistic regression. Results Patients with alcohol dependence had statistically significantly higher odds of being smokers, having unhealthy diets and being physically inactive compared with patients without alcohol problems. Among patients with hazardous alcohol drinking, we found an increased occurrence of smokers and an inverse association between hazardous alcohol drinking and being physically inactive. Many of the patients had attempted to change their unhealthy lifestyles. Conclusion We found that alcohol problems are related to a clustering of other lifestyle factors and that many of the patients admitted to certain departments showed signs of various kinds of alcohol problems. Therefore, specific hospital departments could be opportune settings for preventive alcohol interventions.

“…Schutte et al (2003) found that, among older former problem drinkers (ages 55-65), mortality was 1.6 times higher than among lifetime non-problem drinkers. Roerecke and Rehm (2013) conducted a meta-analysis on drinking status and ischemic heart disease mortality and found significantly elevated mortality among former drinkers compared with long-term abstainers. Mertens et al (1996) reported that former drinkers often had a current illness, higher stress, lower friendship support, and an avoidant coping style.…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: This study examined the residual effects of young adult diagnostic drinking on health outcomes four decades later in late life. Results were differentiated by drinking status during midlife. Method: A subsample of Vietnam Era Twin Registry members, all of whom had a lifetime diagnosis of alcohol dependence, was grouped according to life span drinking patterns as assessed by the Lifetime Drinking History interview in 2001. Those drinking at diagnostic levels (endorsing three or more alcohol dependence symptoms) before age 30 were then grouped based on their midlife drinking status (i.e., drinking at diagnostic levels vs. at minimal [nonsymptomatic] levels throughout midlife). Linear (or logistic) regression models were used to examine the association between life span drinking patterns and health outcomes in late life (about age 64). Results: Those who drank at diagnostic levels in young adulthood and in midlife exhibited significant health liabilities on every late-life health measure; those who drank at diagnostic levels for 5 or more years in young adulthood but drank only at minimal levels or not at all in midlife still exhibited similar liabilities on most late-life health measures. Only those individuals who drank diagnostically for less than 5 years in young adulthood displayed normal levels of late-life health. Conclusions: This study identified residual effects resulting from persistent young adult diagnostic drinking (5 or more years) that resulted in negative health outcomes in late life even after decades of remission. There is a distal but surprisingly strong association between persistent early life diagnostic drinking and late-life morbidity. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 77, 859-867, 2016)
