A study which suggests a rise in the number of women in their 30s and 40s dying from alcohol misuse is a "warning sign", researchers have said.
Despite a downward overall trend in the number of alcohol-related deaths in England and Scotland, the number of deaths among women born in the 1970s has "disproportionately increased" since the mid-2000s, the study found.
Researchers focused on people living in Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester, all of which have similar levels of poor health and deprivation.
They looked at deaths related to alcohol over the last three decades among residents born between 1910 and 1979.
The study, the results of which are published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, found that in all three cities, death rates stabilised in the early 2000s and fell during the latter part of the decade, apart from in women born during the 1970s.
It suggests that unlike men born at a similar time, women die from alcohol-related causes much earlier than they did during the 1970s.
"The similarity of trends in alcohol-related deaths in young women in Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool raises real concerns for the long-term health of this cohort in both England and Scotland," the authors of the report said.
"It is imperative that this early warning sign is acted upon. Given this increase in the younger cohort is seen in all three cities, it is hard to dismiss this as a city-specific phenomenon.
"Failure to have a policy response to this new trend may result in the effects of this increase being played out for decades to come."
