Is regular drinking in later life an indicator of good health? Evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2016)
Journal Article
Holdsworth, C., Mendonça, M., Pikhart, H., Frisher, M., de Oliveira, C., & Shelton, N. (2016). Is regular drinking in later life an indicator of good health? Evidence from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Journal of epidemiology and community health, 70(8), 764-770. https://doi.org/10.1136/jech-2015-206949

Background Older people who drink have been shown to have better health than those who do not. This might suggest that moderate drinking is beneficial for health, or, as considered here, that older people modify their drinking as their health deterio...

Is alcohol consumption in older adults associated with poor self-rated health? Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2015)
Journal Article
