Abstract
Background: We investigated the relationship between alcohol consumption and body fat distribution.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 18,198 adults using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey data between July 2008 and May 2011. Body composition was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Alcohol consumption was assessed using a questionnaire regarding drinking habits. Patients were classified into a problem- and a non-problem drinking group based on the alcohol consumption frequencies during the last year and the average reported alcohol consumption per drinking episode. Age, smoking, physical activity, and daily caloric intake were considered confounding variables.

Results: In men, the body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and DXA indices such as trunk-to-leg fat ratio and the trunk-to-limb fat ratio were significantly higher in the problem drinking than in the non-problem drinking group. In premenopausal women, BMI, WC, and the trunk-to-leg fat ratio and the trunk-to-limb fat ratio were higher in the problem drinking group considering the role of other confounders. Although there were no significant differences in BMI and WC based on drinking habits in postmenopausal women, the trunk-to-leg fat ratio and the trunk-to-limb fat ratio were significantly higher in the problem drinking than in the non-problem drinking group.

Conclusion: Excessive intake of alcohol is related to central body fat accumulation and may contribute to the development of central obesity by affecting body fat distribution in Korean adults.
