Women constitute the majority of the over-65 population, and this number grows disproportionately annually. With the "Baby Boomers" soon entering old age, this number will skyrocket. While previous studies have looked at male alcohol use, little attention has been focused on women. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in alcohol use in the female population, specifically, the baby boomer women. These changes could place them at greater risk for alcohol-related problems as they age. The sample was derived from the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) collected between 1979 and 1994. It is a stratified sample chosen randomly to represent the gender and ethnic makeup of the United States. The sample of 39,412 was divided into four groups: older men, older women, baby boomer men, and baby boomer women.

520 $a Women constitute the majority of the over-65 population, and this number grows disproportionately annually. With the "Baby Boomers" soon entering old age, this number will skyrocket. While previous studies have looked at male alcohol use, little attention has been focused on women. The purpose of this study was to examine changes in alcohol use in the female population, specifically, the baby boomer women. These changes could place them at greater risk for alcohol-related problems as they age. The sample was derived from the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) collected between 1979 and 1994. It is a stratified sample chosen randomly to represent the gender and ethnic makeup of the United States. The sample of 39,412 was divided into four groups: older men, older women, baby boomer men, and baby boomer women.
520 $a This study replicated previous research that found men consumed greater amounts of alcohol than women. This study also observed that those in the baby boomer group, first tried alcohol at a younger age than those in the older group. Additionally, the baby boomers ingested almost twice as much alcohol monthly than the older adults. The study showed that the baby boomer women consumed alcohol at higher rates than the older women, monthly as well as annually. Investigations of women over time found the baby boomer women increasing alcohol use while the older adult women decreased. Finally, in a structural equation model, this study identified the Risk Factor (age of on-set, 1st time alcohol use) as most influential for the baby boomer women, while the other groups were more influenced by the Demographic Factor (race, income, education). This research has implications for public policy issues regarding treatment and education about alcohol use specifically for the growing older population and can lead to potential interventions to prevent a future generation of addicts.
