Risk of overall mortality associated with daily chocolate consumption by selected factors in the ATBC study. ATBC = Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention; HDL = high-density lipoprotein, HR = hazard ratio. Multivariable models were adjusted for age at entry, body mass index, cigarettes smoked per day, years of smoking, serum HDL cholesterol, intervention assignment, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, education, physical activity, and daily dietary total energy, alcohol, and Alternate Mediterranean Diet Score. Absolute risk differences and hazard ratios of overall mortality are for the 5th versus 1st category of chocolate consumption per day
