TABLE 3. Mortality risk for the four mutually exclusive groups based on MAFLD and excessive alcohol status.
| HR | 95% CI | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model 1 | |||
| MAFLD− Alc− | Reference | ||
| MAFLD+ Alc− | 1.18 | 1.10–1.26 | >0.001 |
| MAFLD− Alc+ | 1.17 | 1.04–1.32 | 0.011 |
| MAFLD+ Alc+ | 1.45 | 1.25–1.67 | >0.001 |
| Model 2 | |||
| MAFLD− Alc− | Reference | ||
| MAFLD+ Alc− | 1.19 | 1.11–1.28 | >0.001 |
| MAFLD− Alc+ | 1.08 | 0.96–1.23 | 0.203 |
| MAFLD+ Alc+ | 1.47 | 1.28–1.71 | >0.001 |
Note: Results were obtained with Cox proportional hazards and are given as HR with 95% CI for all‐cause mortality as outcome (3804 of 12,656). Excessive alcohol consumption was defined as ≥10 and ≥20 g/d in females and males. Results were adjusted for age, age squared, and sex (model 1) and in addition for race, marital status, education, and smoking (model 2).
