Abbreviations: AUD: alcohol use disorders; IQR: interquartile range; kJ: kilojoules; mg: milligrams; IU: International Units; Notes: All variables had skewed distributions thus medians are reported with interquartile range in parenthesis; n-values: n = 80 per group (males n = 33 and females n = 47); a Total estimated energy intake, including average daily alcohol energy estimated from average daily alcohol intake (grams) per participant in the AUD group; * Significant differences between groups in intakes of total energy (p < 0.001) and calcium (p = 0.007), using multilevel mixed-effects linear regression, adjusting for gender, smoking status and total estimated energy including alcohol (comparison of total energy between groups was only adjusted for gender and smoking status).
