Text

The 2 Caine criteria with the highest frequency in this study sample were dietary deficiency (self-reported) and cerebellar dysfunction (based on ataxia scores), with 51 ALC (59.3%) reporting 30 or more days of missed meals in their lifetime due to drinking and 37 ALC (43%) demonstrating balance/gait deficits. Only 2 alcoholics had oculomotor disturbances and 3 alcoholics scored below 124 on the Dementia Rating Scale.
