Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The study was performed on 601 patients (294 males and 307 females) of a general practitioner. Alcohol intake and smoking habits were compared with other anthropometric measurements including waist-to-hip girth ratio. Patients were divided into non-smokers and smokers (subdivided into three groups according to the number of cigarettes smoked per day) and into non-drinkers and drinkers (subdivided into three groups with different alcohol intakes). Ex-smokers were excluded from the study. Analysis of covariance using age, body mass index, physical activity and menopausal status as covariates, showed that: (1) cigarette smoking is not accompanied by a specific pattern for body fat distribution; (2) waist-to-hip ratio was significantly different for the four classes of alcohol intake for women (non-drinkers: 0.809, < 11 g: 0.805, 11-20 g: 0.809, > 20 g: 0.826; F = 2.8, P < 0.05) but not for men (non-drinkers: 0.944, < 20 g: 0.934, 21-40 g: 0.940, 40g: 0.943; F = 0.9); (3) increased alcohol intake corresponds to an increased lipid and energy supply.
