Baku, February 7, AZERTAC
Russian Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova on the radio station Vesti FM said that 70% of the deaths of men of working age are associated with the use of alcoholic beverages, according to the “RT”.
"70% is alcohol - associated mortality, and not only acute ... but also accumulative alcohol mortality - cirrhosis, peptic ulcer and all complications, pancreonecrosis, early hypertension," the minister said.
At the same time, Skvortsova noted a positive trend regarding the number of deaths due to alcohol consumption due to a decrease in the number of surrogate products.
Earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia reported a 7% reduction in the number of crimes committed while intoxicated.
In mid-January, the State Duma offered to sell alcohol and tobacco in special stores.
