Alcohol Attributable Deaths Calculator

Work out alcohol attributable deaths instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Alcohol Attributable Deaths Calculator

Applies a published alcohol-attributable fraction to total deaths and converts the result into a population rate.

Formula

Attributable deaths

Attributable deaths = alcohol-attributable fraction x total deaths; rate = attributable deaths / population x 100,000

Worked example

With the default values below, Alcohol Attributable Deaths Calculator returns Alcohol-attributable deaths of 600.0. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 3 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax or fees or charges into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to 3 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do attributable fractions come from?

WHO and Global Burden of Disease studies combine consumption distributions with cause-specific relative risk functions.

Can the fraction be negative for some causes?

Historically small protective associations were modelled for ischaemic conditions, but recent analyses have largely removed them.
