Why the study?
Does heavy alcohol intake increase blood pressure, serum lipids, and liver function test levels compared to light drinking in middle-aged male workers?
Does heavy alcohol intake increase blood pressure, serum lipids, and liver function test levels compared to light drinking in middle-aged male workers?
Heavy alcohol consumption is significantly associated with elevated blood pressure, adverse serum lipid profiles, and abnormal liver function tests in middle-aged men, but not with obesity indices.
May inform alcohol counseling in occupational health settings; leaves open causal effects on lipids and liver enzymes.
중년 남성 근로자에 대한 알코올 섭취와 혈청지질, 간기능검사치 및 비만지표와의 관련성을 알아볼 목적으로 2013년 1월부터 12월까지의 기간 동안에 종합건강검진을 받았던 30~59세의 남성 근로자 2,175명을 대상으로 이들의 1일 알코올 섭취량과 혈압, 혈청지질, 간기능검사치 및 비만지표와의 관계를 검토하였다. 연구결과, 혈압은 음주량의 증가와 함께 유의하게 높은 값을 보였으며, LDL-콜레스테롤 및 중성지질(TG)도 음주량이 증가할수록 높아지는 경향을 보였으나 HDL-콜레스테롤은 음주량이 증가할수록 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. AST, ALT, ALP 및 <TEX>γ</TEX>-GTP도 음주량이 증가할수록 높아지는 경향을 보였으나 비만지표에서는 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 혈압(SBP, DBP), 혈청지질치(HDL-C, LDL-C, TG) 및 간기능검사치(AST, ALT)가 비정상으로 높아질 위험비는 소량 음주군에 비해 다량 음주군에서 유의하게 상승하였다. 위와 같은 결과는 다량의 음주는 혈압, 혈청지질 및 간기능검사치 증가와 유의한 관련성이 있었으나 비만지표와는 유의한 관련성이 인정되지 않음을 시사하고 있다. The purpose of this study was to investigated the effects of alcohol intake on blood pressure, serum lipids, liver function tests and obesity indices in middle-aged male workers. The 2,175 male workers aged 30-59 years who examined health checkup were recruited as the study subjects during the period between January to December, 2013. We observed the relationships between the amount of alcohol intake and blood pressure, serum lipids, liver function tests and obesity indices. As a result, the mean score of SBP, DBP, LDL-C and TG were significantly higher increasing with amount of alcohol increased, but HDL-C were significantly lower increasing with amount of alcohol increased. AST, ALT, ALP and <TEX>γ</TEX>-GTP were significantly higher increasing with amount of alcohol increased, but obesity indices were not significant. Age adjusted odds ratios(ORs) increasing with abnormal levels of SBP, DBP, HDL-C, LDL-C, TG, AST and ALT were significantly increased in heavy drinking group than light drinking group. Above results suggested that the heavy drink related with blood, serum lipid levels and liver function test levels, but not find out with obesity indices.
