Evaluation of the risk relationship between average alcohol volume consumed and suicide: An analysis of mortality linked cohort data.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the relationship between average alcohol volume consumed per day and suicide.

Methods

Data from the annual, cross-sectional US National Health Interview Survey, 1997-2018, was obtained, and linked to the 2019 National Death Index. The association between average alcohol volume consumed in grams per day (g/day) and suicide was quantified using Cox proportional hazards model (multiplicative) and Aalen's additive hazard model. All analyses were stratified by sex, and adjusted for education, marital status, race/ethnicity, and survey year.

Results

On the multiplicative scale, for males, former drinkers and those who consumed on average (40, 60] g/day had about 53% (HR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.10, 2.13) and 77% (HR=1.77, 95% CI: 1.17, 2.66) greater risk of dyi
