Abstract

Alcohol-related diseases represent a major global public health concern, among which alcoholic liver disease and alcohol use disorder are the two most representative categories of alcohol-related health problems. The Asia-Pacific region is characterized by a large population, marked socioeconomic disparities, and diverse drinking cultures. In recent years, the burden of alcohol-related diseases in this region has exhibited significant regional heterogeneity. This article reviews the epidemiological trends, disease burden characteristics, contributing factors, and prevention and control strategies for alcohol-related liver disease in the Asia-Pacific region, with the aim of providing a reference for regionalized and stratified intervention approaches.
