Data are expressed as OR; 95% CI (n = 14,742). Data are adjusted for sex, age, high alcohol consumption, current smoker, metabolic syndrome, increased LDL, and decreased HDL. Alcohol consumption was defined as an average daily intake of ≥20 g for women and ≥30 g for men; high alcohol consumption was defined as >60 g/day in men and >40 g/day in women.
