Rehab News:Alcohol misuse in older people 'under reported'

Studies into alcohol misuse tend to focus so much on younger people that misuse among older people is often described as a "hidden" area of research, Alcohol Concern has said.

Frank Soodeen, press and parliamentary officer at the national agency, said that older people tend to drink more regularly than younger people and that it is therefore vital that they seek treatment to help them address their underlying problems.

"Twenty-seven per cent of men and 18 per cent of women aged 45 to 64 drink on five or more days during the week," he revealed.

Despite this, the expert said that over-60s make up only seven per cent of alcohol service users in England.

"It's certainly correct that most of the attention is given to underage drinking and its consequences," he commented.

Mr Soodeen also explained that the problem is compounded by the fact that older people "tend to under-report their drinking, often missing out drinks which they regard as medicinal to alleviate other health problems".

"For some there is a stigma attached to problem drinking, so services need to develop an outreach approach including the provision of well-placed information material explaining the type of help offered," he added.
