This article investigates alcohol consumption attributable burden of diseases. The present study considers the overall effect of Human Development Index (HDI), Socio Demographic Index (SDI) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for income to measure how these variables impact Global Burden of Diseases (GDB), bringing a different perspective to the results. Data from over 177 countries mainly including European, Asian, North American, South American, African and Australian regions were analysed from 2000 to 2019. A Panel regression technique was applied, and Fixed Effects (FE) and Random Effects (RE) estimations were chosen to derive outcomes of the Hausman test. The findings reflected that alcohol consumption (wine, beer, spirit and other alcohol) has a positive significant relationship with the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) globally and in the African continent excluding North America and South America. Human Development Index (HDI) have a negative impact on GBD on all countries. Particularly HDI have a negative impact on GBD in African continent except other continents. Also, in the African continent and globally, GBD has a significant positive and in Europe, a significant negative impact on the Socio Demographic Index (SDI). The findings demonstrate the overall picture of the impact of alcohol consumption and other variables on GBD and provide suggestions on how these variables should be tackled in the future to reduce GBD. This is the initial empirical study that investigates the impact of alcohol consumption, analysing the combined effect of HDI, SDI and income on the GBD of continent wise and globally.
这篇文章研究了与酒精消费相关的疾病负担。本研究考虑了人类发展指数（HDI）、社会人口指数（SDI）和国内生产总值（GDP）的综合效应，以衡量这些变量对全球疾病负担（GDB）的影响，为结果带来了不同的视角。本研究的数据来自 2000 年至 2019 年期间的 177 多个国家，主要包括欧洲、亚洲、北美、南美、非洲和澳大利亚地区。采用面板回归技术，并选择固定效应（FE）和随机效应（RE）估计来得出豪斯曼检验的结果。研究结果表明，在全球范围内以及在不包括北美和南美的非洲大陆上，酒精消费（葡萄酒、啤酒、烈酒和其他酒精饮料）与全球疾病负担（GBD）之间存在正相关关系。人类发展指数（HDI）对所有国家的 GBD 都有负面影响。特别是在非洲大陆，除了其他大陆外，HDI 对 GBD 有负面影响。此外，在非洲大陆和全球范围内，GBD 与社会人口指数（SDI）呈显著正相关，而在欧洲则呈显著负相关。研究结果展示了酒精消费和其他变量对 GBD 的综合影响，并就如何在未来处理这些变量以降低 GBD 提出了建议。这是一项初始的实证研究，调查了酒精消费的影响，分析了 HDI、SDI 和收入对按大洲和全球划分的 GBD 的综合影响。
