Bidirectional correlations between alcohol use frequency and anxiety indicate potential exacerbation effects.
Objective Alcohol use and anxiety both contribute significantly to the global burden of disease, and understanding their longitudinal relationships may clarify whether they exacerbate each another. However, previous research on the topic has yielded mixed results, potentially due to a lack of differentiation between alcohol use patterns. This study aimed to explore the bidirectional longitudinal correlations between alcohol use frequency and quantity, and anxiety.
