Abstract

|
|
Background : Alcoholic drinking habits could affect the development of metabolic syndrome. However, the relationship between drinking habits and metabolic syndrome is not clear.
Methods : This study examined drinking habits and metabolic syndrome in 6,713 healthy adults who took a medical health examination in 2014. We divided participants into two groups, and patients were classified as ‘non-drinkers’ or ‘healthy drinkers’ according to Canada’s low-risk drinking guidelines. The relationship between drinking habits and metabolic syndrome was assessed by performing cross-sectional analysis.
Results : In men, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was significantly higher and the odds ratio of metabolic syndrome was lower in the ‘healthy drinkers’ group (P<0.05). In addition, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglyceride levels tended to be lower, but this result was not statistically significant (P>0.05). In women, healthy drinkers exhibited lower blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride, and total cholesterol levels, as well as better liver function test values, a lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome, and a lower odds ratio of metabolic syndrome.
Conclusion : We verified that healthy drinking habits are related to lower levels of BMI, dyslipidemia, blood pressure, HDL cholesterol, and a lower odds ratio of metabolic syndrome. Additional studies are needed to confirm these results.
