Abstract
|
|
|
|
To investigate effect of alcohol consumption characteristics on the body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure (BP), we performed statistical analyses of data from questionnaire survey among adults over 20 years old, using SPSS WIN program. Alcohol consumption characteristics such as frequency of drinking, amount and toxic degree of alcohol didn’t show a significant correlation with BP. Amount of alcohol consumption and BMI showed a positive correlation (r=.264, p<.01). Waist circumference and BMI had the highest correlations with amount of alcohol consumption, which increased with aging.
