BMI indicates body mass index; ref, reference value.
a
Indicates statistically significance omnibus test (test of overall association between binge drinking and demographic/clinical characteristic) at P<0.05 level.
b
Category significantly different from non–binge drinkers. For example, significant difference in the proportion of 27‐ to 36‐ vs 18‐ to 27‐year‐olds for those who binge drank >12 times per year compared with non–binge drinkers.
