Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between health status (eg, specific biomarkers) and health-related behaviors (eg, alcohol consumption) in individuals with or without HBV or HCV infection.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive design was used, and a community-based health screening survey was conducted between August 2011 and July 2012 in Taiwan.
