Key result
Recent alcohol consumption (13-23 hours prior) in men was associated with higher odds of hypertension compared to consumption ≥24 hours prior (OR 2.6; 95% CI 1.3-5.0).
Why the study?
Does alcohol intake and time since last ingestion affect blood pressure and hypertension prevalence in adults?
Population
1089 adults from Porto Alegre, randomly selected from a population-based, multi-stage probability sample.

Recent alcohol timing may affect male hypertension risk; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.

Does alcohol intake and time since last ingestion affect blood pressure and hypertension prevalence in adults?
Odds Ratio: 2.6 (95% CI 1.3–5)
Alcohol consumption >30 g/day is associated with increased blood pressure, and the time elapsed since last ingestion independently affects blood pressure levels.
Moreira et al. (1998) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=1,089). Alcohol consumption vs. Consumption ≥24 hours prior was evaluated on Prevalence of hypertension (last consumption 13-23 h vs ≥24 h prior in men) (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.3-5.0). Recent alcohol consumption (13-23 hours prior) in men was associated with higher odds of hypertension compared to consumption ≥24 hours prior (OR 2.6; 95% CI 1.3-5.0).
