Background: Although there are many studies of association between alcohol consumption and hyper- triglyceridemia with categorized variables, it is insufficient to study association between quantity of alcohol con- sumption and triglyceride levels as continuous variables. Therefore, this study investigates direct effect of alco- hol consumption on triglyceride levels. Additionally, this study examines indirect effects through smoking and body mass index (BMI).
Methods: This study uses data from the 7th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Among the participants, 5,867 adults ≥ 20 years of age are enrolled. To test the association between quantity of alcohol consumption and triglyceride levels and indirect effects through smoking and BMI, this study conducts multi-re- gression analysis by SPSS PROCESS macro.
Results: The results are as follows. First, alcohol consumption has positive(+) effects on smoking, BMI, and tri- glyceride levels significantly. Second, smoking and BMI have a positive(+) effect on triglyceride levels significantly. Third, alcohol consumption has positive(+) effects on triglyceride levels through smoking and BMI indirectly.
Conclusions: Alcohol consumption has a direct effect on triglyceride levels, also has indirect effects through smoking and BMI positively.
