European health experts agree – alcohol consumption killing the population
Athens, Greece (AHN) – Alcohol related diseases, such as liver cirrhosis are growing at an alarming rate and are affecting people at a younger age than in the past.
This news was released aat a conference of liver experts hosted by the European Association for the Study of the Liver medical professionals tasked with discussing practical solutions to combat alcohol-related illness and death.
Liver disease is the main health burden attributable to alcohol and Europe has the highest rate of alcohol consumption in the world.
One in fifteen adults suffers from serious health conditions because of alcohol consumption – making it the third largest cause of early death and illness after tobacco and high blood pressure
A key issue addressed at the conference was the increasing number of deaths due to liver disease resulting from daily or near-daily heavy drinking in the adult population, in addition to binge drinking in young people.
Daily drinking carries more than twice the risk of liver damage compared with intermittent drinking once or twice per week.
It is not just a health challenge either. The strong hold of the drinks industry in challenging recommendations from health experts in relation to the promotion of alcohol to the general public has been a significant barrier to change.
Professor Mark Thursz, EASL Vice-Secretary, said: “Clear messages around healthy drinking need to be developed and communicated to the public. The concept of responsible drinking can be dangerous if it refers only to the detrimental psychosocial effects (addiction, drink driving, disorderly behaviour), as drinking to levels that address these issues is still detrimental to the liver and people’s health.”
He believes this is why so many previous policies have failed.
Thursz goes on to say, “As one of Europe’s key health determinants, alcohol is under-addressed – particularly compared to smoking and obesity.”
Health officials agree that European Institutions need to support more comprehensive epidemiological research to establish and make aware to the public alcohol’s true burden on health.
