Abstract

1411 deaths due to toxic effect of alcohol among participants in the liquidation of the consequences (PACL) of the Chornobyl NPP accident (98.7 % of men) for which there is information in Ukraine’s State Register of Persons Affected as a Result of the Chornobyl Disaster for 1987—2017 were studied retrospectively. 72.6 % lived in cities.

It was found that at the time of death the age range of male PACL was from 26 to 75 years, and that of women was 36—68 years. Most of them died at working age (93.0 % of men and 72.2 % of women). The maximum number of deaths falls under the age category of 45—49 years. The mean age of death for 1987—2017 for the cohort under study was 47.79 ± 2.19 years, which is evidence of a significant number of premature deaths. Deaths due to toxic effect of alcohol are mainly caused by ethyl alcohol (men — 69.2 % and women — 69.9 %).
