Alcohol use was assessed using the AUDIT-10 questionnaire. We defined hazardous alcohol use as: AUDIT-10\u00a0\u2265\u00a06 for women or\u00a0\u2265\u00a08 for men (primary definition) and probable dependence as AUDIT-10\u00a0\u2265\u00a013 for women or\u00a0\u2265\u00a015 for men.

The prevalence of hazardous alcohol use was 7.8% (95%CI\u00a0=\u00a06.2\u20139.3, primary definition) and 0.9% (95%CI\u00a0=\u00a00.3\u20131.5) had probable alcohol dependence. We found increased odds of hazardous alcohol use in: age groups 18\u201339\u00a0years (OR\u00a0=\u00a04.90, 95%CI\u00a0=\u00a01.41\u201317.08) and 40\u201364\u00a0years (OR\u00a0=\u00a04.02, 95%CI\u00a0=\u00a01.69\u20139.67) compared to \u226580\u00a0years; a city compared to a small town (OR\u00a0=\u00a02.44, 95%CI\u00a0=\u00a01.02\u20135.84); participants with unhealthy diets (OR\u00a0=\u00a02.37, 95%CI\u00a0=\u00a01.36\u20134.13), and overweight participants (OR\u00a0=\u00a02.25, 95%CI\u00a0=\u00a01.23\u20134.12).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Hazardous alcohol use affected about one in 12 cardiology patients.
