aAfter excluding those participants who reported any alcohol intake throughout their life but not currently at baseline.
bRepeated-measurement analysis. Relative risks (95% confidence interval) for incident depression according to yearly updated measurements of alcohol intake. Considering incident cases during the last year of every two-year follow-up interval.
The PREDIMED Study 2003 to 2010.
All adjusted for age, sex, smoking, physical activity (MET-min/d), total energy intake (Kcal/day), baseline body mass index (kg/m2), marital status, intervention group, recruiting center, educational level, the number of persons living at home and alcohol intake at baseline.
