Results from Cox regression models. Age was the underlying time variable in all analyses. Model 1: adjusted for sex and stratified for age (decades) and recruitment period. Model 2: adjusted for age, sex, alcohol intake (linear and quadratic term), years of university education, marital status, smoking, body mass index, total energy intake, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, between-meal snacking and following special diets, leisure-time physical activity (METS-h/week), hours of TV watching, hypertension at baseline, baseline high blood cholesterol, self-perception of competitiveness, anxiety, and psychological dependence, and use of anxiolytics.
