Supports alcohol reduction hypothesis for BP control in men 40-59; leaves open causality and practice change from cross-sectional data.

Structured PICO

Does alcohol consumption increase blood pressure in adult men?

P
Population
723 men aged 20 to 59 years from a French working population
I
Intervention
Alcohol consumption (varying levels of intake)
C
Comparator
Non-drinkers or lower levels of alcohol intake
O
Outcome
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels and prevalence of blood pressure ≥ 160/94 mm Hgsurrogate

Alcohol consumption is associated with increased blood pressure in men, particularly those aged 40-59, suggesting that limiting alcohol intake may help prevent essential hypertension.
