摘要：Aim: Authors investigated the association between alcohol use of parents and offspring in
data derived from a district based household survey on drug abuse. Methods: Data on 4411
fathers paired with 6884 offspring were available. Alcohol use disorders were diagnosed
based on DSM-III-R criteria. Analyses was conducted to contrast 1979 offspring of alcohol
using fathers (AU+ [n=1246]) with 4885 offspring of non alcohol using fathers (AU−
[n=3170]). Results: 10% of offspring of AU+ fathers used alcohol compared to 3.7%
offspring of AU- fathers. The offspring of AU+ fathers had higher odds for alcohol use (OR=
2.9, 95% CI=2.4 –3.6) and tobacco use (OR= 1.5, 95% CI=1.3–1.8) (past 30 days) compared
to offspring of AU- fathers. Offspring of AU+ fathers were significantly younger and less
educated than offspring of AU- fathers. Conclusions: Offspring of alcohol using fathers are
a risk group for alcohol use. There is a need for interventions that address parent alcohol use
to mitigate the risk for alcohol use in male offspring.
