Alcohol Intake and Risk of CVD Outcomes in Women vs. Men
Alcohol Intake and Risk of CVD Outcomes in Women vs. Men
The results of this study indicated that women who were conferred by moderate alcohol intake had a significant 10 % increased risk of total mortality compared with men. Furthermore, stratified analyses suggested that women with heavy alcohol intake had a significantly increased RR risk of total mortality than male drinkers in multiple subpopulations. Future studies should focus on specific populations, especially for patients with chronic diseases in order to evaluate the secondary prevention of major cardiovascular outcomes.
