FRANÇAIS :
Cet article est consacré aux seuls produits psychoactifs consommés chez les seniors d'après l'enquête réalisée en population générale par le CFES "Baromètre santé 2000", exploitée par l'OFDT. Leur expérimentation de l'alcool et du tabac concerne respectivement 97,5 % et 82,0 % des 18-75 ans soit un adulte sur 3 mais 1 sur 5 déclare avoir pris des médicaments psychotropes au cours des 12 derniers mois. Le degré de dépendance se mesure selon les scores de santé physique (5 items), mentale (5 items) et sociale (5 items) à partir de l'échelle de Duke. ENGLISH: The levels of use of alcohol, tobacco and psychotropic drugs do not come within the same context and do not even have the same history. However these three substances have at least two points in common: their use is legal and they are the only psychoactive products still used beyond the age of 60 years. Among 60-75 year olds (the seniors), the use of alcohol is more of a generation matter: for these individuals, alcohol is a product of everyday consumption, often part of the day's meals. The use of psychotropic drugs is more a matter of age, as part of medical treatment following health problems. In addition, the health consequences of use of these legal drugs are important and more serious than those for illicit drugs: in France, alcohol and tobacco are the cause of nearly 100,000 premature deaths each year, while consumption of drugs in general, and psychotropic drugs in particular, is one of the highest in the world. After a description of the levels of use of these substances for the whole adult range (18-75 year olds), the study will then focus on the 60-75 year olds, grouping them into different use profiles, then examining their state of health. The seniors, often neglected in favour of adolescents and young adults, are in fact very concerned by these levels of use and their consequences because of their greater vulnerability and the fact that their declared use is often a continuation of a former habit. The results are from the processing by OFDT of a general population survey, the Baromètre Santé 2000, carried out by the French Board for Health Education (CFES), under the scientific supervision of P. Guilbert and F. Baudier. English version: http://www.ofdt.fr/BDD/publications/docs/eftafbh9.pdf |
