ВОЗ о России: 59% смертей мужчин и 33% смертей женщин в возрасте 15-54 лет из-за алкоголя

[romix1c]

"Within the WHO European Region, alcohol is responsible for 6.5% of all deaths (11% of male deaths and 1.8% of female deaths) and 11.6% of all the years lost to disability or premature death (disability-adjusted life years, or DALY) (17.3% for men and 4.4% for women). There are enormous health disparities across the Region. In the Russian Federation in the year 2000, for example, the probability of a 15-year-old male dying before the age of 35 was 10%, versus 2% for western Europe, and the probability that a 35-year-old man would die before age 55 was 27%, versus 6% for western Europe. Alcohol is the greatest source of these health inequalities, being responsible for 52% of all deaths among Russians aged 15-54 (59% of male deaths and 33% of female deaths)".
