Trends in alcohol-associated liver disease mortality rates in American Indians and Alaskan Natives
Male sex, age 44-65, and rural dwelling was associated with a greater ALD AAMR in AI/AN populations. Social changes due to the Covid-19 pandemic may have led to increased ALD mortality. Discerning the underlying causality of these associations and examining the impact of the social determinants of health, may represent important opportunities to enhance care for AI/ANs as a vulnerable minority population.
