Alcohol use disorder and its association with quality of life and mortality in Chinese male adults: a population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

We aimed to demonstrate the distribution of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in China and assess its association with quality of life and mortality.

Methods

We studied 367 120 men aged 35-75 years from 31 provinces in the China Patient-Centered Evaluative Assessment of Cardiac Events (PEACE) Million Persons Project. At baseline, AUD was assessed by alcohol use disorders identification test score, and EQ-5D-3L questionnaire was used to measure the quality of life. Mortality data was collected via National Mortality Surveillance System and Vital Registration. Mixed models were fitted to assess the associations of AUD with quality of life, and Cox proportional hazard models were fitted for the associations with all-cause and cause-specific mortality.
