Abstract
Aim: Risky alcohol consumption increases the risk of dementia for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The aim of this study is to assess alcohol consumption in people with MCI.
Methods: Socio-demographics, 12-month prevalence, 30-d prevalence, prevalence of risky consumption (>10 g/20 g/d pure alcohol for women/men) and binge drinking (≥50 g pure alcohol on one occasion) were recorded in 270 people (≥60 years) with MCI from the German RCT "Brainfit-Nutrition" in 2022.
Results: Approximately half of the people with MCI (50.8%) drink at least once a week. About one fifth (17.0%) of participants met the criterion for binge drinking; every third woman (34.8%) and every fifth man (18.6%) crossed the line to risky consumption in the last 30 d.
Discussion: Generally, people with MCI show similar consumption prevalence as the 65+German general population. However, the prevalence of risky consumption in women with MCI is significantly higher.
