Overview
The incidence of alcoholic liver disease is very high among alcoholics, and those who consume excessive amounts of alcohol. It does still depend on the amount and type of alcohol consumed. The mortality rate is high in those who present with alcoholic hepatitis and those individuals whose disease has progressed to cirrhosis. The average age of presentation is between 40 and 50 years. The disease tends to progress faster in individuals of hispanic ethnicity and women are at greater risk of developing alcoholic liver disease than men.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- According to National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism the incidence of alcoholic steatosis is approximately 20,000 per 100,000 alcoholics and heavy drinkers.[1]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of alcoholic liver disease is estimated to be 604 per 100,000 individuals within the age group of 25 to 44 years.[2][3]
- The prevalence of alcoholic liver disease is estimated to be 948 per 100,000 individuals within the age group of 45 to 64 years.[2][4][5]
Mortality rate
- The 5-year mortality rate in patients suffering from well compensated alcoholic cirrhosis is approximately 58000 per 100,000 individuals.[6]
- The 28-day mortality rate of patients suffering from alcoholic hepatitis ranges from a low of 20000 per 100,000 individuals to a high of 30000 per 100,000 individuals.[7]
Age
- Alcoholic hepatitis commonly affects individuals between 40 and 50 years.[8][9]
Race
- Alcoholic liver disease usually progresses faster in individuals of the hispanic ethnicity. Caucasian individuals are likely to develop disease later.[10][11][12]
Gender
Region
- Alcohol abuse is responsible for five percent (100,000 per year in 1996) of deaths occurring annually in the United States.[15]
Developed Countries
- In western countries alcoholic liver disease is the second most common indication for liver transplantation in patients with chronic liver disease.[16]
