| Annotation | 1134 rural and urban community residents aged 65+ were surveyed in Kwangju, South Korea. Alcoholism was identified by a culturally validated screening scale, and was present in 16% men and 2% of women. In men, alcoholism was positively associated with manual occupation and negatively with religions encouraging temperance. Whereas in the urban sample, alcoholism was associated with higher education and with dementia, in the rural sample, it was associated with lower education and less strongly with dementia. (RH). |
