How Does Alcohol Impact the Lives of Older Adults –
And What Can We Do About It?

Tuesday, December 3, 2024

12 noon–1:00 p.m. ET

As the population of older adults 65 and above expands rapidly, so do the rates of alcohol use and misuse among people within this age group. The body changes as we age, and these changes render people more susceptible to some of the harms that stem from alcohol use.

While the percentage of people ages 65+ who consume alcohol each month increased by 16% between 2002-2019, due to the size of the aging Baby Boomer cohort, the actual number of drinkers in that age group increased 80% during that time.

These data highlight the need for early intervention and a broad discussion on what we can do to prevent further upward trends.

This webinar will feature three presentations:

• Trends in Alcohol Use Among Older Adults
Katherine Keyes, Ph.D., Columbia University

• What are the Impacts of Alcohol Use in Older Adults?
Sara Jo Nixon, Ph.D., University of Florida

• What Can We Do About It?
Cynthia Campbell, Ph.D., Kaiser Permanente Northern California
Derek Satre, Ph.D., University of California, San Francisco

Please note – a Q and A session will follow the three presentations.

To join this free webinar, please send an RSVP by Monday, November 25, 2024, to dana.west@icf.com.

NIH Videocast will present the webinar at https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=55237.
