Methods: The study participants who provided answers for the questionnaire concerning alcohol consumption were 1017 female patients undergoing ART treatment were enrolled in the Japan-Female Employment and Mental Health in assisted reproductive technology (J-FEMA) study between August and December 2018. Patient characteristics, including demographic, clinical, and socioeconomic status, were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire which was distributed only once during the period, regardless of their first or follow-up examination. We defined current drinkers who drank \u226546 g of ethanol per week as the habitual drinking group. The risk factors for habitual drinking were analyzed using multivariable-adjusted logistic regression. Results: The proportion of habitual drinkers was 15.5% in this study population. The multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for habitual drinking were 2.27 (0.99\u20135.21) for women aged \u226535 years versus those &lt;35 years, 4.26 (1.98\u20139.16) for women having partners who currently drink compared to those with partners without current drinking, 1.84 (1.08\u20133.12) for women without a history of childbirth versus those with, and 1.77 (1.00\u20133.14) for working women compared with those not working. Conclusions: In our study, habitual drinking among women undergoing ART treatment was significantly associated with older age, no history of childbirth, partner\u2019s current drinking status, and working.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20247152","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,7]],"date-time":"2023-12-07T05:57:08Z","timestamp":1701928628000},"page":"7152","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Risk
