Moderate Mid-Life Drinking Associated With Healthier Old Age...
Dear Reader,
Interesting news on alcohol and a healthy old age... at least for women. Some new research finds that a woman who drinks moderately in mid-life is somewhat more likely than those who do not drink alcohol to be in good health, both physically and mentally, in old age.
The work, published recently in PLoS Medicine, doesn't prove that drinking in moderation will bring better health, since other factors could also account for the difference. The study also doesn't examine the long-term cost of drinking an alcoholic beverage with dinner instead of milk or water.
The research used the medical records of 13,894 middle aged (in the 1980s) nurses taking part in the Nurses' Health Study who lived to be at least 70 years old. The women's health was updated through the years, and the study included heavy drinkers and even those who might have had alcohol problems.
The team focused on 1,491 subjects (11%) who didn't suffer from chronic diseases or have physical/mental limitations in old age. They compared these subjects to the rest, trying to see if those who drank in midlife (often wine drinkers) did better in terms of health in old age.
Of those who didn't have major health problems in old age, 22% were non-drinkers, 62% drink about 1 drink/day (15 grams of alcohol), just about 10% drank one to two drinks each day, and 3% drank more than two to three alcoholic drinks per day.
After making statistical adjustments for age and smoking status, the team saw that the healthiest women in old age were more likely to have enjoyed drinking at mid-life. The moderate drinkers were about 20% more likely to be healthy as the years passed.
Moderate drinking is considered one drink a day for women or anyone over the age of 65, and two drinks a day for men who are under 65 years old.
If you have questions about if it's safe for you to drink alcohol, even in moderation, talk with your doctor. Those on some medications or with specific medical conditions should not drink under any circumstances.
The study authors also don't recommend a woman start drinking at mid-life if she doesn't already. Being active and keeping your weight in the healthy range are far more protective. Also understand that the volumes considered in the research were small... not supersized as many drinks are today.

Moderate Mid-Life Drinking Associated With Healthier Old Age... Continued...
The study also only looked at women who were healthy at mid-life. The benefits
of alcohol intake may not be the same if a woman is fighting a chronic disease.
The small benefit alcohol appears to bring would likely be overshadowed by the
disease, especially if you take lots of medications that might also be impacted
by drinking alcohol.
But if you're otherwise healthy, and you're a long-standing light to moderate
drinker, this research suggests that alcohol might be bringing you some benefit
according to study author Dr. Qi Sun, an instructor at the Harvard School of
Public Health.
Science already knows that moderate drinking can be a benefit to health, particularly
when it comes to heart disease, stroke and brain functioning. It isn't clear
how alcohol might benefit health, but it may well have something to do with how
it can bring down inflammation in the body.
Do the findings hold for men? The researchers can't say. There is currently little
research into the effect of drinking at mid-life and a healthy old age for men.
More work in the area is sure to follow.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
