Abstract

Objectives: To examine older adults' cannabidiol (CBD) use and its associations with cannabis use and physical/mental health and other substance use problems.

Methods: Using the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (N = 10,516 respondents age 50+), we fitted generalized linear models (GLM) with Poisson and log link using CBD as the dependent variable in the 50-64 and the 65+ age groups.

Results: In the 50-64 age group, 18.3% and 18.0% reported past-year CBD and cannabis, respectively, use. In the 65+ age group, the percentages were 14.3% and 8.0%. GLM results showed significant positive associations with both medical and non-medical cannabis use in both age groups. CBD use was positively associated with physical/mental health and illicit drug use problems in the 50-64 age group and with disordered psychotherapeutic drug use in the 65+ age group. Minoritized older adults had a lower likelihood of CBD use.

Conclusions: CBD use is common, more so than cannabis especially in the 65+ age group and positively correlated with both medical and nonmedical cannabis use.

Clinical implications: Research is needed to examine therapeutic benefits and negative effects of CBD use in late life. Public health education is needed for growing numbers of older-adult CBD users.

老年人使用大麻二酚：老年人使用大麻：与大麻使用、身心健康和其他物质使用的关系》（Cannabidiol Use Among the Older Adults: Associations with Cannabis Use, Physical and Mental Health, and Other Substance Use.

目的研究老年人的大麻二酚（CBD）使用情况及其与大麻使用、身体/心理健康和其他药物使用问题之间的关联：利用 2022 年全国药物使用和健康调查（N = 10,516 名 50 岁以上的受访者），我们将 CBD 作为 50-64 岁和 65 岁以上年龄组的因变量，建立了具有泊松和对数链接的广义线性模型（GLM）：在 50-64 岁年龄组中，分别有 18.3% 和 18.0% 的受访者表示过去一年曾吸食 CBD 和大麻。在 65 岁以上年龄组中，这一比例分别为 14.3% 和 8.0%。GLM 结果显示，在这两个年龄组中，医用大麻和非医用大麻的使用均呈显著正相关。在 50-64 岁年龄组中，使用 CBD 与身体/精神健康和非法药物使用问题呈正相关，在 65 岁以上年龄组中，使用 CBD 与精神治疗药物使用紊乱呈正相关。少数民族老年人使用 CBD 的可能性较低：结论：CBD 的使用很普遍，尤其是在 65 岁以上的人群中，CBD 的使用比大麻更普遍，并且与医用和非医用大麻的使用呈正相关：临床意义：需要开展研究，探讨晚年使用 CBD 的治疗效果和负面影响。需要对越来越多的老年人使用 CBD 进行公共卫生教育。
