Results of a Cox proportional hazards regression analysis predicting 20-year mortality risk from level of wine consumption at baseline among moderate drinkers in a full model controlling for sociodemographic, behavioral, and health status factors, as well as for overall daily ethanol consumption (n = 457)
| Covariate | Hazard ratio | [95% CI] |
| Overall ethanol consumption, in ounces | 0.87 | [0.55, 1.37] |

| Gender, 0 = female, 1 = male | 1.61** | [1.16, 2.22] |
| Socioeconomic statusa | 0.85b | [0.71, 1.01] |
| Health problems | 1.15** | [1.08, 1.21] |
| Tobacco smoking, 0 = no, 1 = yes | 1.49* | [1.09, 2.04] |
| Physical activity | 0.69* | [0.51, 0.94] |
| Physical Activity × Time | 1.03* | [1.01, 1.06] |
| Level of wine consumption, 0 = high, 1 = low | 1.13c | [0.80, 1.61] |
