Relative proportions of DALYs for causes associated with alcohol use, by GBD super-region, age group, and sex, in 2020

The proportions represent the weights associated with each cause-specific relative risk curve when constructing each all-cause relative risk curve. The green shades signify causes with a lower risk at low levels of consumption, compared to no consumption. The red and purple shades signify causes with an entirely harmful effect at all levels of consumption. The black line separates causes for which moderate alcohol use lowers risk from causes with an entirely harmful effect. Diabetes includes only type 2 diabetes. Cancers include lip and oral cavity cancer, nasopharynx cancer, other pharynx cancer, oesophageal cancer, larynx cancer, colon and rectum cancer, breast cancer, and liver cancer. Cirrhosis includes cirrhosis and other chronic diseases of the liver. Infectious disease includes tuberculosis. Injuries includes transport injuries, unintentional injuries, self-harm, and interpersonal violence. Other causes include pancreatitis, idiopathic epilepsy, hypertensive heart disease, and atrial fibrillation and flutter. DALY=disability-adjusted life-year.
