Alcohol use disorders are associated with higher healthcare expenditure among older adults with suspected cognitive impairment: A registry-based cross-sectional study

Our findings indicate that alcohol consumption is a potentially important and amenable determinant of healthcare use, knowledge which could be valuable in planning treatment and care. Such knowledge could also possibly curtail the higher healthcare costs among older adults with AUDs. Thus, we urge healthcare providers to routinely ask patients about their alcohol consumption.

Abstract

Our findings indicate that alcohol consumption is a potentially important and amenable determinant of healthcare use, knowledge which could be valuable in planning treatment and care. Such knowledge could also possibly curtail the higher healthcare costs among older adults with AUDs. Thus, we urge healthcare providers to routinely ask patients about their alcohol consumption.
