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

澳大利亚的饮酒率很高，许多人的饮酒量超过了国家建议的标准。酒精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，以及对冠心病和2型糖尿病的保护作用，这取决于饮酒量和模式。我们的目标是使用墨尔本合作队列研究的终生酒精消费数据来研究这些关联。

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.
