Global trends (1990–2021) and trojections to 2050 in alcohol-attributable epilepsy burden among adults over 40 years old
Alcohol-related epilepsy represents a growing and substantial public health burden among aging populations worldwide, demonstrating pronounced disparities by gender, age, and geographic region. Our findings highlight the critical need for a dual intervention approach: implementing targeted alcohol control measures while developing tailored regional strategies to address demographic shifts and epidemiological risks. These results provide compelling evidence for prioritizing alcohol regulation within public health initiatives for aging societies.
