Modeling was based on multiply imputed data sets (n=40). AAD indicates abdominal aortic diameter.
Adjusted for age at screening as a continuous variable.
Additional adjustments for total energy intake (continuously) and with all variables in the table simultaneously included in the model.
Estimate of never/former drinkers not interpreted due to the low number of cases in this group (n=5).
