  • Population-level risks of alcohol consumption by amount, geography, age, sex, and year

    Open AccessDana Bryazka, Marissa B Reitsma et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2022

    BACKGROUND: The health risks associated with moderate alcohol consumption continue to be debated. Small amounts of alcohol might lower the risk of some health outcomes but increase the risk of others, suggesting that the overall risk depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year. METHODS: For this analysis, we constructed burden-weighted dose-response relative risk curves across 22 health outcomes to esti…
