Abstract

Aim Risky alcohol consumption increases the risk of dementia for people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The aim of this study is to assess alcohol consumption in people with MCI. Methods Socio-demographics, 12-month prevalence, 30-d prevalence, prevalence of risky consumption ( > 10 g/20 g/d pure alcohol for women/men) and binge drinking (≥ 50 g pure alcohol on one occasion) were recorded in 270 people (≥ 60 years) with MCI from the German RCT "Brainfit-Nutrition" in 2022. Results Approximately half of the people with MCI (50.8 %) drink at least once a week. About one fifth (17.0 %) of participants met the criterion for binge drinking; every third woman (34.8 %) and every fifth man (18.6 %) crossed the line to risky consumption in the last 30 d. Discussion Generally, people with MCI show similar consumption prevalence as the 65 + German general population. However, the prevalence of risky consumption in women with MCI is significantly higher.
