13 Other studies in Canada, Scotland, Norway and Ireland, 3 14–16 all identify high levels of harms from others' drinking, and while such studies are not directly comparable (ie, each measures different harms), together they demonstrate that this is an international phenomenon.
26 This study adds further international evidence to a growing body of studies that both identify high levels of harms resulting from other people's drinking, and provide the necessary methodologies to quantify them.
Moreover, a high level of harm avoidance (HA) seems to be an endophenotype related to vulnerability to the development of EDs [ 50].
Subjects high in empathy may possess higher levels of harm aversion at baseline, which were further boosted by citalopram.
Nonethelss, building on imaging data linking harm avoidance with brain dopamine receptors, recent studies have reported higher levels of harm avoidance occur in individuals with early clinical manifestations of PD such as REM sleep disorder which can manifest years before a clinical diagnosis of PD [ 40- 43].
Thus, higher levels of harm avoidance may be lead to stress-related changes in neurotransmitters (e.g., cortisol or dopamine) causing brain atrophy, damaging motor-related brain regions or decreasing the brain's capacity (motor reserve) to tolerate ongoing neurodegeneration and the accumulation of other neuropathologies [ 34- 37].
Prior studies have reported that higher levels of harm avoidance are associated with adverse health consequences in older adults including: incident disability, [ 6] and late-life cognitive impairments including incident mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) as well as cognitive decline [ 7, 24, 25].
This is reflected by our unacceptably high levels of alcohol harm, which sees three people die every day in Ireland from alcohol-related harm".
