Abstract:
The main objective was to describe sex-related differences in rates of nonidentified vs identified problem drinking in 42-year-old Malmö residents. All 1264 women and 1368 men born in 1941 were invited to a health screening at the Preventive Medicine Section, Malmö General Hospital. Individuals registered at the Department of Alcohol Diseases because of problem drinking prior to screening (identified problem drinkers) were excluded and analyzed separately. Intervention in the remaining subjects was made if any of 3 sets of inclusion criteria was met. The sex ratios (female:male) of identified and nonidentified problem drinking were 1:4.1 and 1:2.8 respectively. Thus, nonidentified problem drinking is by and large proportional to identified problem drinking in both sexes, arguing against hidden drinking being and exclusively female phenomenon.
