This paper again affirms the epidemiological significance of alcoholism in the elderly. The results of a study on 99 chronic alcoholic patients sixty-year older have been reported. The laboratory tests for diagnosis normally used for screening of alcoholism are not enough considered in the elderly. In those patients more parameters have to be evaluated.
