Characterizing the risk interplay between alcohol intake and body mass index on cirrhosis morbidity

It is thought that alcohol intake and body mass index (BMI) interact supra‐additively to modulate the risk of cirrhosis, but evidence for this phenomenon is limited. We investigated the interrelationship between alcohol and BMI on the incidence of cirrhosis morbidity for participants of the United Kingdom Biobank (UKB) study.
