Key result
Blood catalase activity was significantly positively correlated with typical alcohol consumption (r = 0.43, P < 0.001), which strengthened after excluding multiple drug users (r = 0.65, P < 0.001).
Why the study?
Is blood catalase activity associated with alcohol consumption in human volunteers?
Cross-Sectional (n=191)
Is blood catalase activity associated with alcohol consumption in human volunteers?
Effect estimate: r = 0.43
p-value: p=<0.001
Blood catalase activity is positively correlated with alcohol intake, suggesting it may serve as a biological marker for the affinity to consume alcohol.

Supports catalase as a potential alcohol affinity marker; leaves open causality and clinical utility pending prospective studies.
Koechling et al. (1992) conducted a cross-sectional in Alcohol consumption (n=191). Blood catalase activity was evaluated on Correlation between typical alcohol consumption (Q-Value) and blood catalase activity (r = 0.43, p=<0.001). Blood catalase activity was significantly positively correlated with typical alcohol consumption (r = 0.43, P < 0.001), which strengthened after excluding multiple drug users (r = 0.65, P < 0.001).
