Association between alcohol intake and death from cardiovascular diseases and its subtypes stratified by dyslipidemia in Japanese men: 20-years follow-up of NIPPON DATA90.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between alcohol consumption and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) was controversial, and no previous studies have shown the impact of dyslipidemia on the association. We aimed to clarify the association between alcohol consumption and death from cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its subtypes and the impact of dyslipidemia on the association.

Methods

We conducted a 20-year cohort study to clarify the association between alcohol intake and death from CVD and its subtypes in 2,909 Japanese men. We estimated the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for current drinkers with non-drinkers as the reference, after adjusting for potential confounders using Cox proportional hazards models. We also investigated the association betw
