Aim: To investigate the association of alcohol consumption with periodontitis risk and change in periodontal parameters over time.
Methods: Using data from 1285 participants of two population cohort studies embedded in the Study of Health in Pomerania, we associated baseline average alcohol consumption with incident periodontitis measured after a median follow-up time of 5.0 years, adjusting for confounding and selection bias using multivariable regression and multiple imputation.
Results: Baseline alcohol intake was prospectively associated with a higher risk of periodontitis (relative risk of 1.08 (95% confidence interval: 1.06, 1.10) and 1.23 (1.17, 1.28) for 30 and 60 g per day (g/day) versus 10 g/day), deeper periodontal pockets, higher clinical attachment levels (CAL) and a higher proportion of sites with probing depths and CAL ≥ 3 mm and ≥ 4 mm.
Conclusions: Our results support the hypothesis that higher alcohol intake modestly increases the risk of periodontitis. Sensitivity analysis suggested that unmeasured confounding and selection bias could explain the observed association.

Amidst the global shift toward cannabis legalization, this study examines medical cannabis (MC) sales as an indicator of economic activity and innovation. It explores associations between MC sales, and variables including tobacco use, alcohol consumption, amphetamine, cocaine and cannabis prevalence, and gross domestic product (GDP), using a fixed effects (FE) panel regression model. It also evaluates associations between cannabis legalization and MC sales over time using a dynamic Difference-in-Differences (DiD) approach with multiple time periods.

Background And Aims: Adolescent hypertension is a growing public health concern, with oxidative stress emerging as a pivotal factor in its development. Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) consists of 20 components, including 16 nutrients (such as carotenoids, riboflavin, copper, etc.) and 4 lifestyle factors (physical activity, BMI, alcohol consumption, and smoking), with higher scores indicating increased exposure to antioxidants.

Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are the most effective weight loss procedures for severe obesity. However, there is recent evidence of increased alcohol intake and new onset alcohol use disorder (AUD) by 2 yr following both operations. Although the two surgeries differ anatomically, they lead to similar increased drinking.

Background & Aims: To investigate association between socioeconomic status (SES) and risk of incident irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and mediating role of lifestyle factors.
Methods: Participants free of IBS at recruitment were included in this retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected cohort (N=353,790). SES was assessed through household income, education and employment status, with different patterns identified through latent class analysis.

Objective: Modifiable health behaviors including tobacco and alcohol use, poor diet, and low physical activity increase risk for developing multiple cancers. Longitudinal research suggests that risky behaviors initiated in youth may persist into adulthood. This scoping review maps prospective longitudinal studies examining the continuity of these behaviors from youth into adulthood.
