Short-term stability of different drinking patterns over the course of four weeks among adults. A latent transition analysis

Light to moderate alcohol consumption has been found to be potentially associated with a reduced risk of disease, particularly cardiovascular disease (Movva and Figueredo, 2013). Epidemiological data have suggested a J-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and all-cause mortality, with light drinkers having a reduced mortality risk compared to abstainers (Rehm and Patra, 2012). This evidence is invoked in discussions about low-risk drinking thresholds (Stockwell and Room, 2012) that have implications for prevention and policy measures.
