a Categories are defined from Alcohol Use Disorders Identification scores as follows: Mild (0–7), Dangerous (8–15), Problematic (16–19) and Dependence (20–40), with Mild category as reference
b Categories of current smokers are defined as follows: Light (1 to 9 cigarettes per day), Moderate (10 to 19) and Heavy (>19) consumers, with never smokers as reference category
c Reference category is never use. Adjustments variables were as follows: gender, age in three categories (<30; ≥30 and <50 and ≥50), self-reported health was used as a binary variable from an 8-points Likert scale, and depressive state defined as a total score ≥19 at the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CESD). Significant associations are presented in bold (i.e. p<0.05).
