Abstract

The death rates due to alcoholism in Japan were analysed for the period 1950-1978. The alcoholism death rates for both sexes increased each year. The alcoholism death rates were closely related to the levels of alcohol consumption. Among both sexes the lowest age-adjusted death rates were observed in married persons and the highest death rates in divorced persons. Geographical variations in the alcoholism death rates were analysed; they were also correlated with alcohol consumption levels. The mean ages at death for alcoholics were 50 for men and 48 for women; the mean ages remained constant during the period of study.
