Alcohol and cause-specific mortality in Russia: a retrospective case—control study of 48 557 adult deaths
The Lancet, Volume 373, Issue 9682, Pages 2201 - 2214, 27 June 2009


Alcohol-attributable mortality varies by year; in several recent years, alcohol was a cause of more than half of all Russian deaths at ages 15—54 years. Alcohol accounts for most of the large fluctuations in Russian mortality, and alcohol and tobacco account for the large difference in adult mortality between Russia and western Europe.
