Adjusted odds ratios of coronary heart disease and 12-month drinking level/status among reducers and non-reducers by sex from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III, 2012–2013.

	Former drinker	Quartile 1 (very light drinker)	Quartile 2 (light drinker)	Quartile 3 (moderate drinker)	Quartile 4 (heavy drinker)	P for linear trend	P for quadratic trend
		AOR (95% CI)	AOR (95% CI)	AOR (95% CI)	AOR (95% CI)
Men
Reducer	2.06 (1.43–2.97)	2.00 (1.31–3.05)	1.65 (1.06–2.59)	1.12 (0.69–1.81)	1.33 (0.85–2.08)	0.76	0.12
Non-reducer		1.46 (0.98–2.19)	0.97 (0.62–1.54)	0.70 (0.43–1.12)	0.78 (0.49–1.23)	0.79	0.08
Women
Reducer	1.51 (1.19–1.92)	1.55 (1.07–2.26)	1.64 (1.16–2.33)	0.96 (0.65–1.42)	1.06 (0.74–1.51)	0.066	0.034
Non-reducer		1.13 (0.86–1.47)	0.98 (0.73–1.33)	0.87 (0.63–1.21)	0.66 (0.47–0.93)	0.64	0.03

Note. The models were adjusted for race/ethnicity, age, marital status, education status, family income, urbanicity, region, tobacco use status, and any lifetime drug use and drug use disorder. The sex- and quartile-specific ranges are the same as shown in Table 4. Adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were obtained by using the lifetime abstainers as the reference group. Trend tests were performed among 12-month drinkers only.
