Data from the National Vital Statistics System, Mortality 1. Age-adjusted rates of alcohol-induced deaths among adults aged 25 and over were stable from 2000 to 2006, then increased 43% from 10.7 per 100,000 in 2006 to 15.3 in 2018. 2. For both males and females, alcohol-induced death rates increased at a greater rate between 2000 and 2018 in rural...
This report describes trends in rates of alcohol-induced deaths among adults aged 25 and over from 2000 through 2018, with a focus on differences by sex and urbanization level of the decedent’s county of residence. Rates overall and rates for males and females increased over the period. While rates were higher for males than females for each year, ...
Alcohol-induced deaths: Deaths from dependent and nondependent use of alcohol, as well as accidental poisoning by alcohol (2). These deaths include underlying International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, or ICD–10 cause-of-death codes E24.4, F10, G31.2, G62.1, G72.1, I42.6, K29.2, K70, K85.2, K86.0, R78.0, X45, X65, and Y15 (2,5). The d...
The National Vital Statistics System multiple-cause-of-death mortality data from 2000–2018 (7) were used to examine alcohol-induced deaths among adults. In each year of the study period (2000–2018), 99% of alcohol-induced deaths occurred among those aged 25 and over; therefore, this report focuses on that population. Alcohol-induced deaths are clas...
