Specific depressive symptoms are related with different patterns of alcohol use in community-dwelling older adults @article{a225989a148f4614a921daf1d9a3aaa1, title = "Specific depressive symptoms are related with different patterns of alcohol use in community-dwelling older adults", abstract = "Objectives: To explore how individual depressive symptoms might contribute to different patterns of alcohol consumption in Colombian older adults living in the community. Methods: A Secondary analysis from a nationally representative cross-sectional study of more than 23,000 older adults, with data from 19,004 participants. Drinking frequency, and level (moderate or heavy drinking) were used to assess alcohol use and depressive symptoms explored with the 15 items-GDS., using bivariate and multivariate adjusted regression models. Results: Lower weekly drinking frequency and a higher number of drinks per serving were associated with total GDS score. For individual symptoms, higher drinking frequency was associated with dropping activities and a preference to stay at home. Lower drinking frequency was associated with low mood, unhappiness, feelings of emptiness, worthlessness, hopelessness, and a lack of vigour. Lower number of drinks per serving was associated with withdrawal/apathy related symptoms; these also related to higher frequency of weekly alcohol consumption. Higher number of drinks per serving was associated with feelings of emptiness, worthlessness, boredom, helplessness, worthlessness. not wanting to be alive, thinking that other people are better off in their mood, being afraid that something bad will happen and subjective memory problems. Moderate drinkers had a higher likelihood of reporting lack of vigour. Conclusion: There were diverse patterns of alcohol use according to individual depressive symptoms.

Dual diagnosis in older drinkers during the COVID-19 pandemic @article{5e469e5e547444a7a0d94c0b0a34cb0a, title = "Dual diagnosis in older drinkers during the COVID-19 pandemic", abstract = "Purpose: There is a dearth of literature examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on older people with dual diagnosis referred to mental health services. The purpose of this study was to compare dual diagnosis before and after lockdown in people aged between 55 and 74 with alcohol use. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected for people referred to mental health services using an anonymised database of de-identified records to identify people with both substance use disorder alone, or accompanied by co-existing mental disorders. Findings: In total, 366 older people were assessed with the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), 185 before and 181 after lockdown. People with dual diagnosis were more likely to be referred than those without, after compared to before lockdown (13 and 6%, respectively, p < 0.05). People with any substance use disorder with and without dual diagnosis showed an even greater likelihood of referral after, compared with before, lockdown (61 and 34%, respectively, p < 0.0001).

Alcohol use and dementia @article{aabc5deee71c413b815e6b8fd87bc706, title = "Alcohol use and dementia: new research directions", abstract = "PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Alcohol is gaining increased recognition as an important risk factor for dementia. This review summarises recent evidence on the relationship between alcohol use and dementia, focusing on studies published from January 2019 to August 2020. RECENT FINDINGS: Epidemiological data continues to yield results consistent with protective effects of low-to-moderate alcohol consumption for dementia and cognitive function. However, recent literature highlights the methodological limitations of existing observational studies. The effects of chronic, heavy alcohol use are clearer, with excessive consumption causing alcohol-related brain damage. Several pathways to this damage have been suggested, including the neurotoxic effects of thiamine deficiency, ethanol and acetaldehyde. SUMMARY: Future research would benefit from greater implementation of analytical and design-based approaches to robustly model the alcohol use-dementia relationship in the general population, and should make use of large, consortia-level data. Early intervention to prevent dementia is critical: thiamine substitution has shown potential but requires more research, and psychosocial interventions to treat harmful alcohol use have proven effective. Finally, diagnostic criteria for alcohol-related dementia require formal validation to ensure usefulness in clinical practice.", author = "Rachel Visontay and Rao, {Rahul Tony} and Louise Mewton", note = "Publisher Copyright: Copyright {\textcopyright} 2020 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

Alcohol is associated with a range of effects on the central nervous system at different doses and acts on a number of receptors. Acute disorders include Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE), traumatic brain injury, blackouts, seizures, stroke and hepatic encephalopathy. The most common manifestations of chronic alcohol consumption are Korsakoff's syndrome (KS) and alcohol-related dementia (ARD). There is limited evidence for benefit from memantine in the treatment of ARD, but stronger evidence for the use of high-dose parenteral thiamine in the progression of neuropsychiatric symptoms for WE. Accumulating evidence exists for pharmacological treatment in the prevention of hepatic encephalopathy.

Design A survey questionnaire assessed alcohol consumption using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Risky drinking was identified by combining categories of increasing (hazardous), higher (harmful) and probable dependent drinking for those with a total score of 8 or more. Comparator groups from the 2014 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (APMS) were used as controls. Setting UK House of Commons. Participants 650 MPs. Results Compared with all 650 MPs, participants (n=146) were more likely to be female (p<0.05) or have an educational qualification (p<0.05). Weighted proportions on AUDIT items were higher than the APMS comparator group for participants who had a drink four or more times a week, 10 or more drinks on a typical drinking day, six or more drinks in one occasion, or felt guilty because of drinking (p<0.01). Weighted percentages for risky drinking were higher in MPs compared with the whole English population (p<0.05), but similar when compared with socioeconomic comparator groups. The odds of risky drinking were 2.74 times greater for MPs who had an additional work role outside parliament compared with those who did not (95% CI 0.98 to 7.65) and 2.4 times greater for MPs with probable mental ill health compared with those with no evidence of probable mental ill health (95% CI 0.78 to 7.43). Conclusions A low level of awareness of the Parliamentary Health and Wellbeing Service has implications for improving the detection of risky drinking and improving access to this service by MPs.

Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. Appropriate inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied and eligible papers were selected through a sequential screening process. Data were extracted using a standard data extraction form, and synthesised. Thirteen papers were eligible for inclusion in the review. All the studies were conducted in developed countries. The interventions included pharmacological and psychological treatments for alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, and prescription medication use, all delivered in a range of healthcare settings. The evidence for treatments of alcohol use related problems supports psychological interventions for reducing alcohol consumption. Studies on the treatments for tobacco use point towards the strength of cognitive behavioural therapy and combined treatments for smoking cessation. For prescription medications, counselling interventions were found to be effective. Older people were reported to have responded to interventions such as brief interventions, multicomponent interventions, educational interventions, counselling, amongst others.
