GBD 2020: Population-Level Risks of Alcohol Consumption by Amount, Geography, Age, Sex, and Year
2022
This article from The Lancet analyzes the health risks associated with alcohol consumption using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2020. The paper seeks to understand how alcohol consumption levels impact health outcomes, and how risks are impacted by background disease rates, which vary across region, age, sex, and year. The paper provides estimates for alcohol consumption levels that minimize health loss and analyzes population risk across 22 health outcomes in 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2020, by age, sex, and year.
Led by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington, GBD is a global effort with researchers from over 150 countries and territories. IHME and other partnering organizations have developed numerous resources to disseminate and visualize the findings of the GBD studies, data visualizations and interactives, country profiles, policy reports, research articles, infographics, and the GBD Results Tool, which allows users to search GBD data.
