Alcohol consumption trajectories and associated factors in adult women: the Norwegian Women and Cancer study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

We described the age-specific trajectories of total alcohol consumption and the consumption of different types of beverages among adult Norwegian women as they age, and how these relate to education, lifestyle, and health-related factors.

Methods

This study included 76 382 women aged 31-70 years who participated in at least two of the three Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study surveys conducted in 1991-97, 1998-2003, and 2004-11. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify the trajectories of self-reported alcohol consumption. Multinomial regression models were used to fit the adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of the associations between education, lifestyle, health-related factors, and the trajectory membership. Analysis was stratified into two subcohorts: women
