• Resumen

  • El abuso del alcohol tiene numerosas consecuencias negativas tanto sociales como para la salud. La respuesta de los consumidores a los cambios en la accesibilidad al alcohol es un problema importante de los debates sobre políticas sobre el alcohol. Los estudios realizados en varios países han demostrado una relación inversa entre los precios del alcohol y el consumo de alcohol en la población. Existen, sin embargo, dudas acerca de si el aumento del precio de alcohol a través de impuestos puede tener un efecto notorio sobre los problemas relacionados con el alcohol, de los bebedores excesivos a largo plazo pesado. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la relación entre la accesibilidad al alcohol y las tasas de mortalidad relacionadas con dicha sustancia en la Bielorrusia post-soviética. Con este propósito las tendencias en las tasas de mortalidad relacionadas con el alcohol (mortalidad por cirrosis hepática, pancreatitis, alcoholismo y psicosis alcohol) se compararon con la accesibilidad al vodka entre 1990 y 2010. El análisis de series temporales reveló que un 1% de aumento en la accesibilidad del vodka se asocia con un aumento en la mortalidad por cirrosis hepática de 0,77%, un aumento en la mortalidad por pancreatitis del 0,53% y un aumento en la mortalidad por alcoholismo y por psicosis alcohólica del 0,70%. La principal conclusión de este estudio es que la accesibilidad al alcohol es uno de los más importantes predictores de problemas relacionados con el alcohol en una población. Estos resultados proporcionan evidencia adicional de que una disminución en la accesibilidad al alcohol es una estrategia efectiva para reducir el consumo de alcohol y los problemas relacionados.
