Affordability of Vodka and Liver Cirrhosis Mortality Rates in Russia
نویسنده
چکیده
Results: The time series analysis suggests a close link between vodka affordability and liver cirrhosis mortality rates in Russia: a 1% increase in affordability of vodka implies a 0.5% increase in male mortality rate and a 1.68% increase in female mortality rate. Conclusions: The major conclusion emerging from this study is that affordability of alcohol is one of the most important predictor of liver cirrhosis mortality. These findings provide additional evidence that decreasing in affordability of alcohol is an effective strategy for reducing alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm.
