aAmong 12,124 men and 9,253 women for alcohol regular users (i.e. at least one standard drink per week) or among 3,179 men and 3,225 women for current smokers;

b Among 7,627 men and 7,071 women for alcohol regular users (i.e. at least one standard drink per week) or among 2,121 men and 2,580 women for current smokers;

c Reference category is low consumption, the following cut-offs in men(women):<28drinks per week(14); <43(29); <71(43) and ≥71(43) define low, medium, high or very high risk alcohol consumption categories, respectively;

dReference category is light consumption, categories of current smokers are defined as follows: Light (1 to 9 cigarettes per day), Moderate (10 to 19) and Heavy (>19) consumers, with non-smokers as reference category. Age at baseline was used as continuous covariable. Other sociodemographic variables include occupational status and marital status as fixed factors and household income and education level as continuous covariables. Significant associations are presented in bold (i.e. p<0.05).
