Of Russians Dying at 15-54, Study Says Alcohol Kills Over Half 3
A new study in Russia has shown that half of all deaths in the country between the ages of 15-54 are alcohol related. The study showed that the mortality rate of Russian people in that age group is five times higher for men and three times higher for women than in Western Europe. David Zaridze, head of the Russian Cancer Research Center said, "Each year 1.3 million people die from cardio-vascular diseases in Russia. Based on our investigation, it is possible to suggest that at least a third of these deaths is linked to alcohol consumption and not to any specific heart pathology".
