The following data show the prevalence of alcohol consumption at each level of average daily alcohol consumption by study cut-points. The prevalence data are used for calculating indirect alcohol-attributable fractions in ARDI.

Conditions:
  • Pancreatitis, acute
  • All cancers
  • Stroke, ischemic
  • Stroke, hemorrhagic
  • Atrial fibrillation
  • Unprovoked seizures, epilepsy, or seizure disorder
  • Hypertension
Standardized, alcohol consumption prevalence for females aged 18-44 years
