Alcohol use, opioid overdose and socioeconomic status in Canada: A threat to life expectancy?
2018
Overview
Probst and Rehm examine the core drivers of the development in life expectancy in Canada. In Canada, alcohol and drug use were identified as the most important risk factors among younger adults, accounting for less than 20% in 1990 and 25% of the total deaths in 2016, respectively. \"Deaths of despair\" are also prevalent in Canada. Deaths from opioid overdoses have risen to record levels for each of the past few years; current estimates suggest close to or more than 4000 such deaths for 2017.7 Deaths and hospital admissions attributable to alcohol have also increased markedly, paralleling the increases in the US. However, Canada's mortality rates are still substantially lower for both opioid-related deaths and for the most important alcohol-attributable death, alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Furthermore, while suicide rates have decreased in Canada since 2000, there has been a steady increase in suicide deaths in the US.
