Abstract

We determined the relationship of alcohol consumption and Medicare costs among 4,392 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), a longitudinal, population-based cohort study of adults age 65 or over in four U.S. communities. We assessed 5-year Parts A and B costs and self-reported intake of beer, wine, and liquor at baseline. Among both sexes, total costs were approximately $2,000 lower among consumers of > 1-6 drinks per week than abstainers. The lower costs associated with moderate drinking were most apparent among participants with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and for hospitalization costs for CVD among healthy participants. Former drinkers had the highest costs.

老年人饮酒与医疗保险费用
我们在心血管健康研究(CHS)的4392名参与者中确定了酒精消费和医疗保险费用的关系,CHS是一项纵向的、基于人群的队列研究,研究对象是美国四个社区的65岁或以上的成年人。我们评估了5年A部分和B部分的成本以及自我报告的啤酒、葡萄酒和白酒的基线摄入量。在两性中,每周饮酒量> 1-6杯的消费者的总成本比不饮酒者低约2000美元。在患有心血管疾病(CVD)的参与者中,与适度饮酒相关的较低成本最为明显,而在健康参与者中,与心血管疾病相关的住院费用最为明显。前饮酒者的成本最高。
