Besides of the geographic distribution, CP due to
alcohol consumption could be different based on the
race but not on the sex. Lowenfels et al[43] determined
that at equal levels of consumption the rates of alcoholic
pancreatitis are similar for males and females although
patients with alcoholic pancreatitis are more likely males.
This is due to the overrepresentation of males among patients
with alcoholic pancreatitis, showing a higher prevalence
of alcohol consumption than sex-based differences
in susceptibility.
