In the following, we describe briefly the evidence of the relationship, including biological pathways, for those conditions which had sufficient evidence for causality and which have been proposed for inclusion in the GBD 2005 (discussed in order of their ICD-10 codes). In addition, we briefly describe two conditions where relatively strong and consistent associations were found, but we could not exclude confounding (for HIV/AIDS) or we did not find enough evidence for a biological pathway (psoriasis). The dose-response relationships for all conditions with a causal impact of alcohol and evidence for a differential effect for mortality versus morbidity are summarized in Table 4.
