根据一项新的研究,将澳大利亚的酒精使用量每人削减一升,可以降低癌症死亡率,特别是老年人的癌症死亡率。 Cutting Australia’s alcohol use by one litre per person could reduce cancer deaths, especially in older adults, according to a new study.

La Trobe大学的一项新研究发现,将澳大利亚每年人均酒精消费量削减1升,可以降低主要癌症的死亡率,包括高浓度消化道、肝脏、直肠切除和乳腺癌,特别是在老年人中。 A new study by La Trobe University finds that cutting Australia’s annual alcohol consumption by one litre per person could reduce deaths from major cancers, including upper aerodigestive tract, liver, colorectal, and breast cancers, especially among older adults. 研究人员利用70多年的国家数据估计,这种下降可能使男性高血压癌症发病率降低3.6%,女性乳腺癌死亡率降低2.3%,男性肝癌死亡率降低3.9%。 Using over 70 years of national data, researchers estimate the reduction could lower male upper aerodigestive tract cancer deaths by 3.6%, female breast cancer deaths by 2.3%, and male liver cancer deaths by 3.9%. 这项研究在《英国癌症学报》上发表,它支持提高酒精税和警告标签等公共卫生政策,并指出,虽然酒精水平对癌症风险没有保障,但按照澳大利亚的准则(每周不超过10杯,每天不超过4杯),可大大减少伤害。 The study, published in the British Journal of Cancer, supports public health policies like higher alcohol taxes and warning labels, noting that while no alcohol level is safe for cancer risk, following Australian guidelines—no more than 10 drinks per week and four in a day—could significantly reduce harm.
