TABLE 4. Mortality risk for MAFLD and excessive alcohol consumption using a stringent definition for excessive alcohol in fully adjusted models.

	HR	95% CI	p value
MAFLD	1.21	1.13–1.29	>0.001
Excessive alcohol	1.24	1.10–1.41	0.001
Excessive alcohol × MAFLD
MAFLD− Alc−		Reference
MAFLD+ Alc−	1.21	1.13–1.29	>0.001
MAFLD− Alc+	1.24	1.05–1.47	0.010
MAFLD+ Alc+	1.50	1.24–1.80	>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). MAFLD and excessive alcohol consumption were simultaneously added in the multivariate model. Excessive alcohol consumption was defined as ≥20 and ≥30 g/d in females and males. Results were adjusted for age, age squared, sex, race, marital status, education, and smoking.
