An investigation of the relationship between per-caput consumption of total fat, beef, and pork in several countries and mortality rates for cirrhosis showed a correlation between alcohol consumption and cirrhosis mortality of 0.64 (p less than 0.01), and a correlation between pork consumption and cirrhosis mortality of 0.40 (p less than 0.05). The correlation between cirrhosis mortality and the product of both alcohol and pork consumption was highly significant (r = 0.98, p less than 0.001). In countries with low alcohol consumption, no correlation was obtained between alcohol consumption and cirrhosis. However, a significant correlation was obtained between cirrhosis and pork. A similar relationship was seen in the ten Canadian provinces, where there was no correlation between cirrhosis mortality and alcohol consumption, but a significant correlation was obtained with pork.
对几个国家的人均总脂肪、牛肉和猪肉消费量与肝硬化死亡率之间的关系进行调查发现，酒精消费与肝硬化死亡率之间的相关性为0.64（p小于0.01），猪肉消费与肝硬化死亡率之间的相关性为0.40（p小于0.05）。肝硬化死亡率与酒精和猪肉消费乘积之间的相关性非常显著（r = 0.98，p小于0.001）。在酒精消费量低的国家，酒精消费与肝硬化之间未发现相关性。然而，肝硬化与猪肉之间存在显著相关性。在加拿大的十个省份也观察到了类似的关系，即肝硬化死亡率与酒精消费之间没有相关性，但与猪肉存在显著相关性。
