Alcohol initiation 0.29 (0.22–0.37) 0.59 (0.51–0.66) 0.12 (0.10–0.14)
Frequency of use 0.39 (0.30–0.49) 0.34 (0.25–0.42) 0.27 (0.24–0.30)
FinnTwin16
Alcohol initiation 0.34 (0.24–0.45) 0.55 (0.45–0.64) 0.11 (0.09–0.13)
Frequency of use 0.44 (0.32–0.57) 0.31 (0.19–0.42) 0.25 (0.22–0.29)
FinnTwin12
Alcohol initiation 0.23 (0.12–0.35) 0.64 (0.52–0.74) 0.13 (0.11–0.17)
