2. Fig. 2. Adjusted odds ratios for ranking in the top 10% medical expenditure group (≥2152 euros/year [≥298,930 Japanese yen/year]) during the 1 year (2009) after baseline among the 94,307 male daily alcohol consuming participants, grouped according to the alcohol quantity consumed per day (2 drinks = 23 g of alcohol) at baseline and stratified according to the presence or absence of obesity (body mass index ≥25.0 kg/m²), smoking or exercise. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (lines) were calculated using a logistic regression model with multivariate adjustments for age and the two residual variables.
