2018年の900人以上の死亡原因はアルコールが原因であることが研究で判明

Share:

2018年の調査によると、ニュージーランドではアルコールにより900人以上が死亡し、29,282人が入院しました。この入院件数は、ウェリントン地域の全病床の半分を占めることになります。死亡の大半は、がん (42%)、怪我 (33%)、肝臓障害 (25%) に関連していました。最も罹患率が高かったのは男性で、マオリのアルコールによる死亡率は他の人の2倍でした。

オタゴ大学のアンジャ・ミズドラック博士は、この発見はアルコールの健康への悪影響を示す過去の研究と一致すると述べました。データは6年前のものですが、アルコールの使用とそれに関連する健康問題はあまり変わっていないため、現在の状況は似ていると彼女は考えています。

この研究は成人のみを対象としており、アルコールが子供や飲酒運転の被害者を含む他の人に与える影響は考慮されていませんでした。ミズドラックは、2018年のアルコール関連の入院件数はウェリントンの病院の収容人数の半分に達したと強調しました。

彼女はいくつかの解決策を提案しました。アルコール広告の制限、入手可能性の低減、税金の引き上げ、全国的なスクリーニングプログラムの開始などです。6月、政府は2009年以来初めてアルコール税を引き上げたが、その増加はごくわずかで、ビールの価格に0.5セントも上がらなかった。

保健大臣のマット・ドゥーシー副大臣は、政府はアルコールによる害を減らすことを目指していると述べました。この新たな課税は、胎児性アルコールスペクトラム障害への支援を含むイニシアチブのための資金を集めることになる。しかし、専門家らは、アルコール関連の被害の程度に比べると、資金はまだ不十分だと考えています。

アルコール・ヘルスウォッチのアンドリュー・ギャロウェイ氏は、状況は改善されておらず、15歳以上の危険な飲酒者は約67万人いると指摘した。彼は、スコットランドの最低単価など、他の国でも政策が成功したことで、アルコール関連の死亡者数が大幅に減少したと指摘しました。

彼は、アルコールの害を、道路通行料など他の死因と比較したが、道路通行料は依然として高いため、アルコール関連の問題にもっと焦点を当てる必要があることが示唆された。
