Abstract
Background: This study aimed to examine the relationship between alcohol consumption and intraocular pressure (IOP) according to facial flushing in Korean men with obesity.

Methods: The study included 479 Korean men with a body mass index of ¡Ã25 kg/m2 (75 non-drinkers, 174 with drinking-related facial flushing, and 230 without facial flushing) who underwent health check-ups between October 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between alcohol consumption and high IOP (¡Ã21 mm Hg).

Results: Flushers consuming ¡Â16 drinks per week had a significantly higher risk of high IOP than non-drinkers, depending on alcohol consumption (¡Â8 standard drinks: odds ratio [OR], 4.49; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05? 19.25; >8 but ¡Â16 standard drinks: OR, 8.14; 95% CI, 1.37?48.45). However, when the consumption was >16 drinks per week, the high IOP risk did not significantly increase (OR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.05?10.69). In addition, there was no significant relationship between alcohol consumption and high IOP among non-flushers consuming ¡Â8 drinks per week (OR, 2.07; 95% CI, 0.52?8.19). However, a significantly increased risk of high IOP was observed among non-flushers consuming >8 drinks per week, depending on alcohol consumption (>8 but ¡Â16 standard drinks: OR, 4.84; 95% CI, 1.14?20.61; >16 standard drinks: OR, 4.08; 95% CI, 1.02?16.26).

Conclusion: This study suggests that obese men with alcohol flush reactions may have an increased risk of high IOP with the consumption of smaller amounts of alcohol than non-flushers.
