This research determined the alcoholism-related and other correlates of the discrepancy between life expectancy in females and males using information for 161 different countries. The variables that correlated most highly with female minus male life expectancy were per capita alcohol consumption, cirrhosis of the liver deaths per capita, and overall life expectancy. Greater gender discrepancy was also found in non-Moslem countries and in countries with greater per capita income and less infant mortality. Public health implications are discussed.
本研究利用161个不同国家的信息，确定了与女性和男性预期寿命差异相关的酗酒及其他因素。与女性减去男性预期寿命相关性最高的变量是人均酒精消费量、人均肝硬化死亡人数和总体预期寿命。在非穆斯林国家以及人均收入较高、婴儿死亡率较低的国家，也发现了更大的性别差异。文中讨论了对公共卫生的影响。
