Data are years of life lost (95% CI). Based on proportional hazards regression models using attained age as the underlying time metric and adjusted for sex, race/ethnicity (white [all participants in the Swedish and Australian cohorts were coded as white], black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, other/unknown), education (high school or less, post–high school, college, unknown), alcohol intake (grams per day: 0, >0 to <10, ≥10, unknown), physical activity level (cohort-specific tertiles corresponding to low, medium, and high), and study.
