“…In China, the alcohol taxes were increased in 2002, and the alcohol sale restrictions and the license requirement were implemented in 2004. In 2007, the laws that punish drunk drivers began to be enforced, and restrictions on alcohol advertisements took effect in 2010[87]. However, the alcohol policy in China is weaker than those in its neighboring countries in many aspects, which favors alcohol consumption, leading to consequent alcohol-related problems.…”

Explosive economic growth and increasing social openness in China over the last 30 years have significantly boosted alcohol consumption, and consequently, the incidence of alcoholic liver disease (ALD) in China has increased. Because the epidemiologic and clinical features of ALD in the Chinese population may differ from those of the Caucasian population, this review describes the epidemiology, pathogenesis, genetic polymorphisms, diagnosis, and treatment of ALD in the Chinese population. This updated knowledge of ALD in China provides information needed for a global understanding of ALD and may help in the development of useful strategies for reducing the global ALD burden.

“…Alcohol consumption accounts for approximately 4% of all-cause global mortality and 5% of the global disease burden ( Beaglehole & Bonita, 2009 ). As such, alcohol is recognised by healthcare systems as a major risk factor for a host of physical and psychological illnesses, injuries, and self-harm, as well as social issues that create significant bearing on indicators such as potential years of life lost, and disability-adjusted life years ( Lam & Chim, 2010 ; Collin, Hill & Smith, 2015 ; Rabiee et al, 2017 ; Shield et al, 2012 ). Advances in molecular pathology has greatly facilitated the understanding of the underlying mechanisms through which alcohol affects major regulatory systems leading to endocrine disorder and associated consequences such as disruption of the circadian rhythm (Process C) ( Emanuele & Emanuele, 1997 ; De Coster & Van Larebeke, 2012 ; Rachdaoui & Sarkar, 2013 , 2017 ).…”

Heavy consumption of alcohol has shown to be associated with sleep disturbances among adult and elderly people in high income settings. So far, the relationship between alcohol drinking and sleeping pattern has not been studied in an African setting. Therefore, in this study we investigated whether alcohol consumption has any influence on sleeping hours among adult men and women in Ghana.MethodsData for this survey were extracted from Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS 2008). GDHS is the only cross-sectional survey conducted on men and women aged above 15 years that collected information on variables such as sleeping hours and alcohol consumption. The analysis was controlled for various demographic, socioeconomic, household level factors, and smoking.ResultsPrevalence of sleeping 1–3 h, 4–6 h, and >7 h was respectively 1.5% (1.2–2.0), 14.1% (12–16.5), and 84.4% (82.1–86.4), and that of alcohol use was 26.9% (23.4–30.6). In the multivariable regression analysis, compared with non-drinkers, those reported drinking had significantly lower odds of sleeping for at least 7 h. In the adjusted model, drinkers had 0.8 times (adjusted OR = 0.803, (95% CI [0.690–0.935])) lower odds of sleeping for at least 7 h. The odds for sleeping 4–6 h were not statistically significant. In the stratified analysis, the odds of sleeping for at least seven were comparatively lower among women (adjusted OR = 0.657, (95% CI [0.509–0.849]) then among men (adjusted OR = 0.867, (95% CI [0.740–0.965]).ConclusionMen and women who reported consuming alcohol had significantly lower odds of getting adequate sleep (>7 h). The sleep-disrupting effect of alcohol appeared to be more prominent among women than among men. Currently there is not sufficient evidence on alcohol consumption and sleep disorder among Ghanaian population or any other country in the region. Further studies are required to understand sleeping patterns and the burden of alcohol drinking in this population to design intervention programs.

“…The burden tends to be highest in Russia, however, with significant reduction starting from 2005 and at a similar and relatively stable level in the remaining countries. South Africa appeared to be an exception here, with a higher burden than in China, India, and Brazil and an observable rising trend up to 2000, and later decrease, which appeared to be against the trend in alcohol consumption (32).…”

“…The authors of the study also identified mortalities in BRICS countries as being more strongly connected to deficiencies in prevention, early detection, and treatment, when compared to developed countries (31). Rabiee et al (32), in turn, analyzed the correlation between alcohol consumption and disease burden in BRICS countries. Trends and observation in this case are to some extent different from those arising of our study.…”

The aim of the article is to compare health system outcomes in the BRICS countries, assess the trends of their changes in 2000−2017, and verify whether they are in any way correlated with the economic context. The indicators considered were: nominal and per capita current health expenditure, government health expenditure, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, GDP growth, unemployment, inflation, and composition of GDP. The study covered five countries of the BRICS group over a period of 18 years. We decided to characterize countries covered with a dataset of selected indicators describing population health status, namely: life expectancy at birth, level of immunization, infant mortality rate, maternal mortality ratio, and tuberculosis case detection rate. We constructed a unified synthetic measure depicting the performance of individual health systems in terms of their outcomes with a single numerical value. Descriptive statistical analysis of quantitative traits consisted of the arithmetic mean (xsr), standard deviation (SD), and, where needed, the median. The normality of the distribution of variables was tested with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Spearman's rho and Kendall tau rank coefficients were used for correlation analysis between measures. The correlation analyses have been supplemented with factor analysis. We found that the best results in terms of health care system performance were recorded in Russia, China, and Brazil. India and South Africa are noticeably worse. However, the entire group performs visibly worse than the developed countries. The health system outcomes appeared to correlate on a statistically significant scale with health expenditures per capita, governments involvement in health expenditures, GDP per capita, and industry share in GDP; however, these correlations are relatively weak, with the highest strength in the case of government's involvement in health expenditures and GDP per capita. Due to weak correlation with economic background, other factors may play a role in determining health system outcomes in BRICS countries. More research should be recommended to find them and determine to what extent and how exactly they affect health system outcomes.
