However, there are few studies on joint impact and interaction of smoking and alcohol consumption, and the results are inconsistent to this point. Th erefore, this study was conducted to investigate the interactive impact of alcohol and smoking consumption on serum lipoproteins in Korean men.
Methods: Participants were composed of 4,254 healthy Korean males, aged 19 years or older, from the Forth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Alcohol and smoking consumption were assessed by face-to-face interview with questionnaires. Lipid profi les and atherogenic indices were analyzed.
Results: Th e lipoprotein profi les and atherogenic indices were in favorable levels in drinkers in smoking group than those in non-smoking group. In addition, unfavorable levels of lipid profiles were seen in smokers, in non-drinking group than in
drinking group.
Conclusion: This study shows that combined impact of smoking and alcohol consumption on the atherogenic lipoprotein profi les. Further studies are needed to clarify the mechanism and signifi cance of our fi ndings.
