  1. OR Odd Ratio, CI95% Confidence Interval at 95%; 1 Based on the 2011 International Standard Classification of Education; 2 At-risk alcohol use disorder was defined as a total score > 7 at the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test; 3 Depressive state was defined as a total score > 18 at the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. Benzodiazepine long-term use was defined as at least one episode of long-term use from 2009 to 2015. Results were computed from weighted analyses of 4686 men and 4849 women included in 2015 in the CONSTANCES cohort. Significant results at p < 0.05 are presented in bold
