Tuyns A J (International Agency for Research on Cancer, 150 cours Albert Thomas, F-69372 Lyon Cedex 08, France) and Pequignot G. Greater risk of ascitic cirrhosis in females in relation to alcohol consumption. International Journal of Epidemiology 1984, 13: 53–57.

The risk of ascitic cirrhosis increases with average daily consumption of alcoholic beverages, both in males and in females. For the latter, however, the curve is much steeper, indicating a greater risk for the female liver, with the disease occurring earlier in life. Health implications are discussed.

Revised 1 April 1983
