Consumidores de alcohol estudiados por necropsia. Pinar del Río 2001-2003. Study by necropsy of alcohol addicts. Pinar del Rio 2001-2003
Abstract
Se estudiaron 65 necropsias realizadas en el Departamento de Medicina Legal de Pinar del Río, en casos en que el consumo del alcohol aparece presente y relacionado al momento de la muerte. Se determinó la relación de la causa del deceso con el alcohol y se encontró que tres quintas partes de ellos mueren antes de llegar a la tercera edad, en su mayoría siendo aptos y en activa vinculación laboral, con grados variables de adicción y consumo, pero apareciendo que el alcohol es causa básica o contribuyente de muerte en el 63,2 % de ellos y que en general en el grupo se pierden como promedio 19,5 años de vida respecto a la expectativa del momento con un mínimo de 36 años perdidos para la mitad del grupo, razón que justifica medidas que impongan un consumo responsable en todo lugar y circunstancias.
