Abstract
BackgroundIt is unclear whether common affective disorders and anxiety disorders
increase the risk of alcohol dependence and alcohol misuse.AimsTo investigate whether affective disorders and anxiety disorders increase
the risk of alcohol dependence and alcohol misuse.MethodThis study is a retrospective cohort study based on data collected from

logistic regression models were used for multivariate analysis.ResultsParticipants with affective disorders (relative risk (RR) = 5.46, 95% CI
4.08–7.31 for alcohol dependence within 5 years of onset; RR = 2.77, 95%
CI 1.93–3.99 after first 5 years) and anxiety disorders (RR = 3.33, 95%
CI 2.37–4.68 for alcohol dependence within first 5 years of onset; RR =
3.56, 95% CI 2.72–4.64 after first 5 years) were at higher risk of
alcohol misuse and alcohol dependence.ConclusionsCommon affective disorders and anxiety disorders may increase the risk of
