Socioeconomic inequities in alcohol-attributable mortality by sex/gender and age in Canada: a 13-year population-representative cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Individuals with low socioeconomic position (SEP) experience greater rates of alcohol-attributable mortality, contributing to health inequities in mortality and life expectancy. We examined the association between SEP and alcohol-attributable mortality by sex/gender and age in Canada. Census records from the 2006 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (ages 12+; n = 5 038 790) were linked to mortality data from 2006 to 2019. SEP was measured by educational attainment and household income. Poisson and Fine and Gray subdistribution hazard models estimated rate differences (RDs) per 100 000 person-years and hazard ratios (HRs). Both educational attainment and household income were inversely associated with alcohol-attributable mortality. Absolute SEP inequities were greater among men t
