Examining Alcohol's Contribution to the US African-American/White Cirrhosis Mortality Differential from 1950 to 2002
Alcohol and alcoholism (Oxford Oxfordshire), 2013Co-Authors: William C. Kerr, Katherine J. Karriker-jaffeAbstract:Aims: The aim of this study was to estimate the overall impact of alcohol on US race- and sex-specific age-adjusted cirrhosis Mortality rates and to consider beverage-specific effects that represent changes in drinking patterns over time, comparing states with large and small African-American/White cirrhosis Mortality Differentials. Methods: Using series data from 1950 to 2002, the effects of per capita alcohol consumption on cirrhosis Mortality for African American and White men and women were estimated using generalized least squares panel models on first-differenced data. Granger causality tests explored geographic patterning of racial differences in cirrhosis Mortality. Results: Cirrhosis Mortality was significantly positively related to apparent consumption of alcohol, with an overall impact of 8–14%/l of ethanol. This effect was driven by spirits which were more strongly associated with Mortality for African-American women and for African-American men in states with larger Mortality Differentials. This disparity first emerged in New York and spread through the Northeast and into Midwestern states. Conclusion: Differences in the contribution of alcohol to cirrhosis Mortality rates suggest variation by race and gender in life-course patterns of heavy consumption, illicit liquor and spirits use, as well as birth cohort effects.

Female Sensitivity to Diet and Irradiation Treatments Underlies Sex–Mortality Differentials in the Mediterranean Fruit Fly
The journals of gerontology. Series A Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2001Co-Authors: James R. Carey, Pablo Liedo, Hans-georg Müller, Jane-ling Wang, Brad Love, Lawrence G. Harshman, Linda PartridgeAbstract:Large-scale experiments on medflies that were subjected to sterilizing doses of ionizing radiation (plus intact controls) and maintained on either sugar-only or full, protein-enriched diets revealed that, whereas the Mortality trajectories of both intact and irradiated male cohorts maintained on both diets are similar, the Mortality patterns of females are highly variable. Mean Mortality rates at 35 days in male cohorts ranged from 0.2 to 0.3 but in female cohorts ranged from 0.09 to 0.35, depending on treatment. The study reports three main influences: (a) qualitative differences exist in the sex-Mortality response of medflies subjected to dietary manipulations and irradiation; (b) the female Mortality response is linked to increased vulnerability due to the nutritional demands of reproduction; and (c) female sensitivity to environmental changes underlies the dynamics of the sex-Mortality Differential.
