It is also studied by drinking moderate alcohol related to heart and circulation disease
According to Cambridge's new research university, drinking regularly from the suggested UK guidelines for alcohol may take years from your life. Part-funded by the British Heart Foundation, studies show that drinking more alcohol is associated with stroke, malignant enuresis, heart failure and higher risk of death.
The authors pointed out that their conclusions largely challenge that cardiovascular health benefits, and the UK currently supports fewer guidelines than drinking moderate.
The study compared the health and drinking habits of more than 600,000 people in 19 countries around the world and controlled for age, smoking, diabetes history, level of education and business.
The upper safe range of drinking was about five drinks per week (100 grams of pure alcohol, 12.5 units or 4% ABV five beer or 5% 175 ml glasses of 13% ABV alcohol). However, drinking above this limit was linked to lower life expectancy. For example, having 10 or more drinks per week was linked to life expectancy for one to two years. Due to 18 drinks or more per week, it was linked to life expectancy for four to five years.
Research published today in Lancet supports the UK's recent guidelines, which advises 2016 that men and women should drink more than 14 alcohol per week. This is equivalent to six six beers or six glasses of wine in a week.
However, worldwide studies affect countries around the world, where the guidelines of alcohol are quite different.
Researchers also saw the connection between alcohol consumption and various types of cardiovascular disease. The consumption of alcohol was associated with high risk of stroke, heart failure, lethal aortic aneurysm, lethal susceptible disease and heart failure, and there was no clear boundary, where drinking was of no use.
On the contrary, the consumption of alcohol was associated with a slightly lower risk of non-malignant heart attack.
The authors noted that different relationships between alcohol consumption and various types of cardiovascular disease can be related to the effects of alcohol on blood pressure and factors related to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (also called 'good' cholesterol). goes). Is called). He emphasized that low risk of non-fatal heart attacks should be considered in the context of the increasing risk of many other serious and often fatal cardiovascular diseases.
The study was centered on existing beverages, which were far from the alcohol due to poor health, which were focused to reduce the risk of bias. However, the study itself reported on consumption of alcohol and relied on observational data, hence no concrete findings about the cause and effect can be made. This study did not see the effect of life-course or alcohol consumption for those who could reduce their consumption due to health complications.
Dr. of the study Camilla University Chief Artist Angela Wood said: "If you already smoke alcohol, then drinking less can help you survive for long and reduce the risk of many cardiovascular situations.
"Alcohol consumption is associated with a slightly lower risk of non-malignant heart attack, but it should be balanced against other serious-and potentially fatal-linked risks associated with heart disease."
Victoria Taylor, senior doctor of the British Heart Foundation, said while studying the study: "This powerful study can encourage countries that have set their recommendations at a higher level than Britain, but it seems that the government Get a lot of strength guides for the UK
"This does not mean that we should rest on our laurels, many people in the UK regularly advise what advice is given to us. We must always remember that the alcohol guidelines should act as a boundary, The threshold should not be the goal, and try to drink well below. "
The study was funded by the UK Medical Research Council, the British Heart Foundation, the National Institute for Health Research, European Union Framework 7 and the European Research Council.
