Abstract EN
Aim.
The relationship between alcohol consumption and glycometabolic abnormality is controversial, especially in different ethnic population.
In this study, a cross-sectional survey was carried out to examine the relationship between alcohol consumption and glycometabolic abnormality in middle-aged and elderly Chinese men.
Methods.
Using cluster random sampling, Chinese men aged more than 40 years from Changchun, China, were given standardized questionnaires.
In total, 1996 individuals, for whom complete data was available, were recruited into the study.
We calculated the incidence of prediabetes and newly diagnosed diabetes by three levels of alcohol consumption: light, moderate, and heavy.
Multivariate logistic regression models adjusted for socioeconomic variables and diabetes-related risk factors were used to analyze the association between alcohol consumption and the onset of prediabetes and diabetes.
Results.
The univariate analysis revealed higher incidence of prediabetes among drinkers (32.8%) compared with nondrinkers (28.6%), particularly in heavy alcohol consumers.
The logistic regression analysis showed that alcohol consumption, especially heavy consumption, was an independent risk factor for prediabetes.
Conclusions.
Alcohol consumption, heavy consumption in particular, is an independent risk factor for the development of prediabetes, but not for diabetes.
