Lifetime alcohol consumption and risk of mortality and morbidity: The Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study

澳大利亚的酒精消费率很高，许多人的饮酒量超过了国家推荐的标准。酒精被认为对疾病结果有双重影响：作为心血管疾病、癌症和肝硬化的风险因素，对冠心病和2型糖尿病有保护作用，这取决于消费量和消费模式。我们的目标是研究这些协会使用终身饮酒数据从墨尔本协作队列研究。

Australia has a high alcohol consumption rate with many people drinking above recommended national guidelines. Alcohol is attributed with a dual effect on disease outcomes: as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, cancer and liver cirrhosis and a protective effect on coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, depending on the volume and pattern of consumption. We aim to study these associations using lifetime alcohol consumption data from the Melbourne Collaborative Cohort Study.
