To compare the estimated death rates associated with alcohol and tobacco use for Australian Aboriginals in Western Australia with those for non-Aboriginals.
Deaths attributable to tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption were estimated for 1989-1991 with the aetiological fractions method, using data from the Health Department of Western Australia's mortality database.
Tobacco smoking was responsible for 15.4% of all deaths and 13.9% of Aboriginal deaths, and alcohol consumption for 5% and 9.2%, respectively. The age-standardised death rates per 100,000 person-years for tobacco and alcohol were: Aboriginal males, 271 and 152; other males, 113 and 29; Aboriginal females, 118 and 56; and other females, 32 and 15. Of those who died as a result of tobacco use, 49% of Aboriginal males and 48% of Aboriginal females died before 55 years of age, compared with 11% and 10%, respectively, in non-Aboriginal males. For alcohol-related deaths, 62% of Aboriginal males and 70% of Aboriginal females died before 55 years of age, compared with 35% and 23%, respectively, in non-Aboriginals.
During 1989-1991 tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption were responsible for much higher death rates among Aboriginals than among non-Aboriginals in Western Australia.
比较西澳大利亚州澳大利亚原住民与非原住民因饮酒和吸烟导致的估计死亡率。
采用病因分数法，利用西澳大利亚州卫生部死亡率数据库的数据，估算1989年至1991年期间因吸烟和饮酒导致的死亡人数。
吸烟导致的死亡占总死亡人数的15.4%，占原住民死亡人数的13.9%；饮酒导致的死亡分别占5%和9.2%。每10万人年中，吸烟和饮酒的年龄标准化死亡率分别为：原住民男性271和152；其他男性113和29；原住民女性118和56；其他女性32和15。在因吸烟死亡的人群中，49%的原住民男性和48%的原住民女性在55岁之前死亡，而非原住民男性的这一比例分别为11%和10%。在与酒精相关的死亡中，62%的原住民男性和70%的原住民女性在55岁之前死亡，而非原住民的这一比例分别为35%和23%。
在1989年至1991年期间，西澳大利亚州原住民因吸烟和饮酒导致的死亡率远高于非原住民。
