“…Excessive alcohol consumption is frequently cited as being the main cause of extremely high rates of male mortality [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]. Country-level data in these studies show a clear correlation between alcohol consumption and male mortality.…”

“…Furthermore, compared to these groups, the prevalence of CVD was significantly lower among Central Asians (26.3%) and Other minorities (Dungans and Uyghurs, 20.6%). This may be explained by the tendency of East Europeans and Western Asians, compared to Kyrgyzs and Central Asians (Kazakhs, Tajiks) and other minorities, showing lower CVD mortality attributable to dietary risk, including less alcohol consumption ( 12 , 76 , 77 ).…”

The purpose of this study was to characterize different ethnic groups in Kyrgyzstan regarding cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mental distress, and to investigate the association between CVD and mental distress. The mental distress was measured in terms of sleep disturbance, burnout, and stress.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among six ethnic groups in Kyrgyzstan, aged 18 years and above. The sample was stratified for age, education, family status, and income. We used the Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire to assess sleep disturbance, the physical and emotional subscale of the Shirom Melamed Burnout Questionnaire to assess burnout, and the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale to assess perceived stress.Results: The distribution of CVD differed significantly between the six ethnic groups, with higher prevalence among East Europeans, and Western Asians and lower among Other minorities and Central Asians. In all ethnic groups in Kyrgyzstan, individuals with CVD had increased odds of sleep disturbance and burnout. There was a significant difference in burnout and stress between persons with and without CVD in Kyrgyz and East European ethnic groups.Conclusion: There was a significant difference in burnout and stress between persons with and without CVD in Kyrgyz and East European ethnic groups. In addition to CVD prevention, mitigating sleep disturbance and preventing burnout in the general population should be aimed at in public health measures.

“…16,[46][47][48] Likewise, previous research in the postcommunist Central Asian countries identified the "Russian mortality paradox", suggesting the excess all-cause, cancer and CVD mortality in more privileged ethnic Russian females (and males) aged 20-59 years relative to those from titular ethnic groups. 49,50 Beyond long-standing concerns arising from data artefacts and mixed ancestry, 16,46,49,50 one hypothesized explanation of this phenomenon lies in differential susceptibility to most common NCDs, reflecting the complex gene-environment interactions during the life course (including in utero and early childhood). 12,51,52 Another explanatory hypothesis for such resilience invokes buffering effects of unique cultural, religious (e.g.…”

Purpose: Worldwide, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of premature death of women, taking the highest toll in developing countries. This study aimed to identify key socio-demographic determinants of NCD mortality in reproductive-aged women (15-49 years) in Georgia. Materials and Methods: The study employed the verbal autopsy data from the second National Reproductive Age Mortality Survey 2014. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were fitted to explore the association between each risk factor and NCD mortality, measured by crude and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results: In the final sample of 843 women, 586 (69.5%) deaths were attributed to NCDs, the majority of which occurred outside a hospital (72.7%) and among women aged 45-49 years (46.8%), ethnic Georgians (85.2%), urban residents (60.1%), those being married (60.6%), unemployed (75.1%) or having secondary and higher education (69.5%), but with nearly equal distribution across the wealth quintiles. After multivariate adjustment, the odds of dying from NCDs were significantly higher in women aged 45-49 years (AOR=17.69, 95% CI= 9.35 to 33.50), those being least educated (AOR=1.55, 95% CI= 1.01 to 2.37) and unemployed (AOR=1.47, 95% CI= 1.01 to 2.14) compared, respectively, to their youngest (15-24 years), more educated and employed counterparts. Strikingly, the adjusted odds were significantly lower in "other" ethnic minorities (AOR=0.29, 95% CI= 0.14 to 0.61) relative to ethnic Georgians. Contrariwise, there were no significant associations between NCD mortality and women's marital or wealth status, place of residence (rural/urban) or place of death. Conclusion: Age, ethnicity, education, and employment were found to be strong independent predictors of young women's NCD mortality in Georgia. Further research on root causes of inequalities in mortality across the socioeconomic spectrum is warranted to inform equityand life course-based multisectoral, integrated policy responses that would be conducive to enhancing women's survival during and beyond reproduction.
