The effects of exceeding low-risk drinking thresholds on self-rated health and all-cause mortality in older adults: the Troms ø study 1994–2020

ConclusionsThere was no clear evidence of an independent negative effect on either self-rated health trajectories or all-cause mortality for exceeding an average of 100  g/week compared to lower drinking levels in this study with up to 25 years follow-up. However, some sex-specific risk factors in combination with the highest level of alcohol consumption led to adverse effects on self-rated health. In men it was the use of sleeping pills or tranquilisers and  ≥ 20 years of smoking, in women it was physical illness and older age.
