OBJECTIVE: To investigate the long-term effects of the consumption of @entity167 on mortality and morbidity. METHOD: A sample of 32,185 (50.5% female) individuals was randomly selected from the 450,000 inhabitants of Stockholm County, Sweden, in 1969. @entity167 consumption data were obtained from postal questionnaires; response rate was 87% (n = 28,001). Data on mortality and morbidity were obtained from the National Cause of Death Register, the @entity5 Register and the Inpatient Register 1971-1996. RESULTS: The reference groups were moderate consumers of alcoholic beverages. High-consumption @entity1 had increased risks of mortality from @entity65 (relative risk ratio [RR] = 1.28; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12-1.46), accidents or @entity4968 (RR = 2.10; CI: 1.67-2.65) and @entity344 (RR = 4.65; CI: 2.93-7.36). High-consumption @entity1 had an increased risk of mortality only from accidents or @entity4968 (RR = 2.95; CI: 1.82-4.78) and @entity344 (RR = 3.60; CI: 1.40-9.24). For low-consumption @entity1 , there was an increased risk of mortality from @entity65 (RR = 1.25; CI: 1.07-1.47). @entity258 @entity1 also had an increased mortality from @entity65 (RR = 1.23; CI: 1.05-1.44). The results with respect to morbidity almost mirrored the results for mortality, with one exception; for low-consumption @entity1 , the morbidity from @entity65 was not increased. CONCLUSIONS: The mortality and morbidity associated with different levels of @entity167 consumption are associated with the same diseases, which suggests that @entity167 may be one of the causative factors for these diseases. The reasons for the differences between genders, regarding responses to the negative effects of @entity167 consumption, are still unknown.
