<p>Risk of developing laryngeal cancer and pharyngeal cancer following drinking cessation.</p
Risk of developing laryngeal and pharyngeal cancer for never drinkers vs. current drinkers.
<p>Risk of developing laryngeal and pharyngeal cancer for never drinkers vs. current drinkers.</p
Sensitivity analysis of the meta-analysis of changes in the odds ratio of pharyngeal cancer after drinking cessation compared to current drinkers.

Risk decline of laryngeal and pharyngeal cancer over forty years after drinking cessation.
<p>It should be noted that the risk is not expected to fall below that of never drinkers, even though the figures imply this.</p

Predicted cumulative hazard of first (dashed grey line) and second (solid black line) AMI.
<p>Cumulative hazards for a non-smoking 58-year-old male with diabetes duration 10 years, total cholesterol 4.3 mmol/l, HDL cholesterol 1.0 mmol/l, LDL cholesterol 2.0 mmol/l, HbA1c 8.0%, systolic BP 150 mmHg, macroalbuminuria, no history of previous AMI before diagnosis, and no CHF during follow-up. For second AMI, it was assumed that the patient had his first AMI in the 10<sup>th</sup> year after diagnosis.</p
