Age, Period and Cohort Effects on Time Trends in Alcohol Consumption in the Swedish Adult Population 1979-2011

摘要

Aims: In Sweden, alcohol abstention has increased over the last 20 years and consumption has recently decreased after a peak in 2004. To understand the dynamics of these trends the present study aims at estimating age, period and cohort (APC) effects on trends in alcohol use prevalence as well as overall and beverage-specific volume of drinking over the last three decades.
