Introduction• Life Expectance at birth: Low and fluctuated• remarkable gender difference• Early childhood and elderly mortalities: stable/decrease• Alcohol= most plausible, proximal explanation for the
fluctuation, while smoking and health care system help explaining the low LE.
• Trends in alcohol consumption mirror these fluctuation
The decrease in adult per capita consumption by 25%, from 14.2 to 10.5 Litre between 1984 and1987, promotes three more life expectancy years. After consumption volume rebounded back to its former level in five years later, life expectancy also returned to its initial figure. When consumption further increased to 15.0 litres per capita in 2001, moreover, an additional drop in male life expectancy was evident.

Alcohol-attributable mortality
• WHO CRA (2002)– Alcohol AF= 18% male and 9% female all
age groups– AAF= 31% male and 20% female 20-44
years
• Izhevsk (2003-5)– AAF= 43% of male 25-54 years
• Thailand (2004) – AAF= 982. % 15-59 years (13.98 M, 1.12
F)

• Classic cohort studies tend to underestimate mortality impact of alcohol – Fail to recruit heavy user– Late of death onset: cannot capture heavy use
episode– Conventional underestimation of self report
• Classic alcohol BOD• Izhevsk study= case-control
– Proxy report– Innovative indicators
• Surrogate alcohol• Zapoi= drinking over 2 days+ escape from normal life• Hangover• Sleep in clothes from drunkenness• Alcohol treatment (compulsory for alcohol problems)

Cardiovascular disease
• CVD= largest single component of total mortality
• Most Russian are Caucasoid (subject to gain alcohol cardio protective effect)
• Harmful effect of alcohol to CVD: arrhythmia, blood clotting, and blood pressure
• High acute alcohol poisoning [17% of M&F (35-69) forensic autopsies had 400 mg%]
• [+cardio myopathy= chronic effect precipitated by final binge drinking]
• AAF for hypertension is 10% (Polikina O, et al 2009)

Non-beverage alcohols= surrogate alcohols
• Medicinal alcohol, medicine based alcohol, aftershave, lotions, perfume, shellac, varnish, antifreeze, de-icing fluids, brake fluid, industrial cleaning fluids, solvents, denatured alcohol, glues, gasoline, kerosene, tooth powder, vinegar and shoe polish
• Izhevsk: prevalence= 8% of 25-54 years male • Largely available, esp medicinal tinctures, with higher
content but cheaper price to vodka• Alcohol content for most common (i.e. medicinal
tinctures, eau-de-colognes, antiseptic)= 60-95% with no significant amount of toxic alcohols
• Surrogate alcohol rose as by complication from Gorbachev’s anti-alcohol campaign
• Be clear: what is unrecorded alcohol?

Quantifying consumption
• Survey= underestimation• Sale data=production data= cannot
capture unrecorded• How to quantify homebrew (Samagon in
Russia)• Innovative approaches
– Treml, 1982: retail sales of sugar as a proxy for home-brewed
– Nemstov, 2002: Treml approach plus acute alcohol poisoning
• 1/3 (4.9/15.5) to ½ of APC is unrecorded alcohol

Drinking behaviour
• Vodka and other strong spirits are most common drink among men
• Large hazardous amount on single occasions is common
• Challenge to the conventional way to define ‘binge drinking’ (X amount of alcohol in single occasion, or public drunkenness) cannot capture or face difficulty with heavy drinking episodes/ intensive drinking bouts, such as zapoi
• Zapoi prevalence= 12% of male • Study show many problems relationship with
zapoi drinkers

Who drinks in Russia?
• Men have higher drinker prevalence for any beverage type, higher consumption volume/episode, and hazardous drinking
• Social gradients of hazardous drinking – Education: higher< lower– Marital status: married<single<
divorced/separated– Unemployment
• Bidirectional
