The magnitude and distribution of the preventive effects from the reduction in population drinking on fatal injuries vary across different gender and age groups, with the strongest preventive impacts on fatal injuries among people aged 15 to 29 and 70 years and above. The mechanisms behind these effects are unclear from this study, but are likely to be due to the strong association between per capita consumption and heavy drinking.

“…Since both the dependent variables (per capita consumption, liver cirrhosis, and transport accident mortality) and the independent variables (the selected sociodemographic and economic factors, and policy measures) were investigated over the long period of approximately 50 years, the TS model was considered to be appropriate for this analysis drawing on pre-existing studies (Box & Jenkins, 1976;Norström & Skog, 2001;Pridemore & Snowden, 2009;Jiang et al, 2013). A linear regression was used with a time trend among the variables (see AM-PHORA WP3, 2013, Part 1, Methods for country-specific analysis, consumption; Baccini & Carreras, 2014).…”

This paper focuses on whether the on-going dramatic decrease in alcohol consumption in Italy, especially of wine, during 1961-2008, was associated with which parallel sociodemographic and economic changes and with alcohol control policies. The study, using both time series (TS) and artificial neural network (ANN)-based analyses documents that its selected sociodemographic and economic factors, and particularly urbanization, had a definite connection with wine consumption decrease, spirits decrease, and the increase in beer consumption over time. On the other hand, control policies showed no effect on the decline in alcohol consumption, since no alcohol control policy existed in Italy between 1960 and 1987. A few policies introduced since 1988 (BAC and sale restrictions during mass events) may have contributed to reducing or to maintaining the on-going reduction. Study limitations are noted and future needed research is suggested.

“…27,36,37 There is strong evidence that primary prevention national health policies for reducing alcohol-related harm within the community through reduced access to alcohol-containing products, such as introduction of a minimum cost per unit alcohol and controlled marketing, effectively reduce ALD-related morbidity and mortality. 38,39,28 This effect is seen rapidly as alcohol-related fatalities tend to reflect recent drinking. 40 Further research into more cost-effective and practical strategies to reduce ALD is paramount, and a national health policy is likely to be the most effective strategy to reduce ALD in Australia and New Zealand.…”

Since 2004, the majority of primary adult liver transplants within Australia and New Zealand have been because of potentially preventable liver diseases and the prevalence of these diseases has increased over time. This finding represents an opportunity for clinicians to make a significant impact on the overall burden of advanced liver disease in Australia and New Zealand by improving primary and secondary prevention measures.

Alcohol Consumption and Liver Disease in Australia: A Time Series Analysis of the Period 1935–2006

Abstract: An increase in per capita alcohol consumption in Australia is likely to lead to an increase in liver disease. Changes in the most important beverage over the study period suggest substantial shifts in drinking patterns and preferences among the heaviest Australian drinkers.
