Abstract

Data presented in this article are supplementary data to our primary article 'Association of Alcohol Consumption and Aortic Calcification in Healthy Men Aged 40-49 Years for the ERA JUMP Study' [1]. In this article, we have presented supplementary tables showing the independent association of alcohol consumption with coronary artery calcification using Tobit conditional regression and ordinal logistic regression.
