Associations of usual alcohol consumption with fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke

Adjusted for age, smoking, and history of diabetes, and stratified by sex and EPIC center. Alcohol consumption categories amongst current drinkers were >0 to ≤50 grams/week, >50 to ≤100 grams/week, >100 to ≤150 grams/week, >150 to ≤250 grams/week, >250 to ≤350 grams/week and >350 grams/week. The reference category is the lowest baseline alcohol consumption category (>0 and ≤50 grams/week). HRs are plotted against the mean usual alcohol consumption in each category. Studies with fewer than 5 events of any outcome were excluded from the analysis of that outcome. The sizes of the boxes are proportional to the inverse of the variance of the log-transformed HRs. Vertical lines represent 95% CIs.
