“…2 and 3 . The study encompassed 14 countries, including Portugal [ 14 ], Canada [ 15 ], Iceland [ 16 ], France [ 17 , 18 ], China (see the following paragraph), USA [ 19 – 35 ], Denmark [ 36 – 38 ], South Korea [ 39 , 40 ], Uganda [ 41 ], India [ 42 , 43 ], UK [ 10 , 44 – 47 ], Sweden [ 48 ], Japan [ 49 – 54 ], and Italy [ 55 – 57 ](Fig. 2 and Table 1 ).…”

“…Herein, 62 studies [ 14 – 16 , 18 – 20 , 22 – 25 , 29 – 31 , 33 – 40 , 44 – 46 , 50 , 53 , 55 , 56 , 58 – 60 , 63 – 67 , 71 , 77 , 78 , 80 , 81 , 84 – 86 , 92 , 93 , 96 , 97 , 99 – 101 , 104 – 107 , 111 ] were included to analyze the influence of sex on the prevalence of ARLD. The prevalence of male was 2.9% (95% CI: 2.4–3.5), which was much higher than that of women (0.5%, 95% CI: 0.4–0.7) (Table 1 ).…”

“…ARLD caused by long-term heavy drinking included the whole disease spectrum from liver steatosis to liver cirrhosis and even liver cancer [ 237 ]. The constituent ratio of alcoholic cirrhosis in ARLD population was the highest, up to 32.9% (95% CI: 27.3–38.7) (Table 2 ) got from 147 articles [ 16 , 19 , 25 – 27 , 31 , 36 , 46 , 64 , 66 , 80 , 81 , 84 , 86 , 91 , 92 , 98 , 100 – 102 , 111 , 113 , 117 , 119 , 121 – 124 , 145 , 148 , 149 , 152 , 153 , 157 , 159 – 162 , 165 , 170 , 173 – 176 , 187 , 193 , 194 , 197 , 199 , 208 , 219 , 221 – 223 , 225 , 227 , 229 – 234 , 236 , 238 – 321 ]. A total of 121 datasets [ 25 , 26 , 30 , 43 , 47 , 113 , 115 , 116 , 122 , 125 , 126 ...…”

“…To estimate the incidence of ARLD, data from 7 eligible cohort studies [ 16 , 39 , 47 , 384 – 387 ] were selected, with a cumulative follow-up of 368,565,116.7 person-years. The number of newly defined ARLD cases was 62,819, and the incidence was 0.208 (95% CI: 0.125–0.305) per 1000 person-years (Table 3 ).…”
