Abstract: 

The situation with alcohol mortality for the years 2010–2014 in the Irkutsk region has been monitored and analyzed. It was established that due to the statistics the percentage of people having died in the region from all causes related to alcohol consumption, amounted to about 2.5 % of the total number of deaths. According to expert estimates, this share can be up to 15 %. The territory “at risk” for alcohol mortality is defined. Among risk groups there are men 30–79 years old and women 35–49 years old. For the 2010–2014 male mortality due to alcohol was higher than the same in women, on average, by 2.5 times. “Alcoholic” mortality of rural population compared to urban was higher – 16.6 %. However, the decline of the indicator by 1.4 times from the total population is reported in 2014, including the able-bodied population. Rating of the Irkutsk region among 85 subjects of the Russian Federation in 2014 indicates a relatively satisfactory state for all causes of death caused by harmful use of alcohol. During the years 2010–2014 the volume of absolute alcohol consumption by the population of the Irkutsk region decreased from 9.3 to 8.4 liters. The significant changes in the structure of alcohol consumption was revealed: in 2014 the first place in the structure of consumption was taken by beer and light alcohol drinks – 47.4 against 40.7 %. It is shown that the supervision of the implementation of alcohol products, monitoring the scale of harm caused by alcohol, and promoting healthy lifestyles and raising the permitted age of onset of drinking alcohol from 18 to 21 years are still relevant strategies for prevention of premature mortality.
