The health and economic burden of alcohol consumption

Le résumé fourni par la source

This chapter provides an overview of the burden of diseases caused by alcohol consumption on population health and the economy. Based on the results of the OECD Strategic Public Health Planning for non-communicable diseases (SPHeP-NCDs) model, the chapter focuses on 52 countries, including OECD, European Union (EU27) and Group of 20 (G20) member countries, to assess the burden caused by consuming more than 1 drink per day for women and 1.5 drinks per day for men, and the burden of total alcohol consumption. Findings are produced for a number of dimensions including impacts on life expectancy, morbidity and mortality, health expenditure, employment and productivity. By using the OECD long-term economic model, the chapter explores the impact of alcohol-related diseases on gross domestic product (GDP) and tax rates.
