[Interaction of alcohol and nutrition factors in the etiology of hepatic cirrhosis in men].
Habitual food and alcohol intake throughout adult life were assessed by interview in 211 patients suffering of liver cirrhosis and 387 control subjects selected at random from the corresponding general population. In the cirrhotics only the habits prior to clinical disease were taken into account. A significant dose-response relationship between alcohol intake and relative risk of cirrhosis, as well as the protective effect of total caloric intake and of its protein fraction, was demonstrated by logistic regression analysis.
