Modest daily drinking increases risk for ischemic stroke
Adults who drink a modest
amount of alcohol daily had an increased risk for ischemic stroke,
according to data presented at the International Stroke Conference.
Wookjin Yang, MD, of the department of neurology at Seoul National University Hospital in Korea, and colleagues analyzed data from 286,256 participants (mean age, 45 years; 52% men) from the National Health Insurance Service National Sample Cohort.
Participants were categorized by drinking frequency
and quantity: abstainer (n = 152,584), social drinker (n = 99,232),
daily modest drinker (n = 6,281), episodic heavy drinker (n = 25,667)
and daily heavy drinker (n = 2,492). Follow-up was conducted for a
median of 9 years.
Participants who drank socially had a protective effect for ischemic stroke (HR = 0.88; 95% CI, 0.81-0.96). Drinking patterns influenced the results in participants who drank more. Modest drinking every day increased the risk for ischemic stroke (HR = 1.16; 95% CI, 1.01-1.33), although this was not seen in episodic heavy drinking (HR = 0.9; 95% CI, 0.76-1.07), the researchers reported. – by Darlene Dobkowski
