  1. †non-HDL cholesterol levels are given as least-square mean ± SE adjusted for age and body mass index; ‡non-HDL cholesterol levels are given as least-square mean ± SE adjusted for age, body mass index, cigarette smoking, coffee consumption and antihypertensive medication use. Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons was applied. *P < 0.05 vs non- or ex-drinkers. HDL, high-density lipoprotein; Mt5178C, mitochondrial DNA 5178 cytosine; Mt5178A, mitochondrial DNA 5178 adenosine.
