  • Diet
    • Sweet drinks: ≥ 400 ml of soda – 2-fold risk (age- and sex-adjusted).
    • Sugar consumption – versus the quartile with the lowest intake (mean 20.2 g day), risk was 2.0-, 2.2-, and 2.6-fold increased in quartiles 2 (31.9 g/d), 3 (42.6 g/d), and 4 (67.2 g/d), respectively
  • Stimulant consumption
    • Alcohol (woman: > 20 g/day; man > 30 g/day).
  • Overweight (BMI ≥ 25; obesity) (+ 30%).

Environmental pollution – intoxications (poisonings).
