Abstract
Alcohol problems among male disability pensioners. Medhus A. (Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, University of Lund, Sweden). The study covers two materials from Malmö: 1. All 235 men who were granted temporary or permanent disability pension for the first time in 1964. 2. A group of 235 men randomly chosen from the 893 men who were granted temporary or permanent disability pension for the first time in 1974. In both materials, the number of convictions for drunkenness during the period 1932–74 was about 4.5 times as high as for Swedish men of the same age. One pensioner in three had been convicted. During the period 1939–74, one pensioner in ten in each material had been subjected to compulsory treatment by Temperance Boards.
