    Why is Mongolia the worst country in the world for premature
    alcohol-related death? They don't culturally or historically share
    the Russian notion that large quantities of vodka are a cure for
    eveything.

    Not much else to do there? Bad genetics for alcohol?

    Unknown....pure speculation...contact via radio/TV/etc with the
    "outside" world might be related....I'd have to understand their
    behavior overtime to validate this speculation.


    Mongolia health situation: based on the Global Burden of Disease Study
    2019

    Over the past few decades, economic, political, and social changes
    have directly and indirectly affected the health of the Mongolian
    population. To date, no comprehensive analysis has been conducted on
    the burden of diseases in this country. Thus, we aimed to describe the
    leading causes of death and disabling conditions and their trends
    between 1990 and 2019 in the Mongolian population.

    Sidebar - Back in 1970s, I met some rural Dakotians whose English
    dialect was fractured. They would have been raised by parents having
    children born before WWII. I suspect their grandparents were raised
    without radio since electricity was not available to rural folks.

    These Dakotians I met were raised in an enviroment where outside
    influences were limited. I would venture to say if I met Dakotians
    born after 1960, their dialet would be more typical of midwesterns.

    Point here is monkey see, monkey do, and I suspect in Mongolia,
    outside influences (radio, tv, etc) has affected how they behave.
