Global, regional and national burdens of alcoholic cardiomyopathy among the working-age population, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis
The global burden of ACM continues to rise, primarily due to population ageing and insufficient prevention policies. This burden disproportionately impacts working-age populations, who face heightened vulnerability due to alcohol accessibility, premature mortality, and reduced workforce productivity. Moreover, economic growth paradoxically coincides with increased alcohol-related harm in regions with high-middle socioeconomic development-the alcohol control paradox. Projections highlight an urgent need for tailored alcohol control strategies, including stricter regulation and early cardiac screening in high-risk groups, to mitigate workforce productivity loss and align public health priorities with sustainable development goals.
