Abstract
[Extraido del prefacio] El alcohol es un importante factor de riesgo de morbilidad y mortalidad en las Américas. En general, los niveles de ingesta de alcohol en las Américas son mayores que el promedio global, en tanto que los índices de abstinencia, tanto para hombres como para mujeres, son consistentemente inferiores. En el año 2002, en términos de carga de morbilidad, el alcohol causó aproximadamente 323,000 muertes, 6.5 millones de años de vida perdidos y 14.6 millones de años de vida ajustados a la discapacidad en la Región, abarcando resultados de enfermedad crónica y aguda en neonatos y ancianos. Los hombres tienen mayores niveles de carga de morbilidad atribuible al alcohol en comparación con las mujeres, lo cual podría deberse principalmente a su perfil de consumo de alcohol, tanto en términos de un mayor volumen total.
