Alcohol Use Disorder in Older Adults (original) (raw)

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2022

Abstract

As the number of older adults worldwide continues to grow, we observe a proportional growth of substance use. Despite the myriad of complications alcohol use disorder (AUD) has on the body with regards to organ systems and mental health, the topic has been underresearched in the older adult population. Thus, it is important to create awareness about the growing problem of AUD among older adults. In this way, we can mitigate the long-term complications and side effects observed with alcohol abuse in this vulnerable population.
