(HealthDay News) -- A Spanish study has found that long-term moderate
drinking decreased the risk of heart disease by up to one-third in men
and to a lesser degree in women.
The type of alcohol -- beer,
wine or spirits -- made no difference, the researchers reported in the
Nov. 19 online issue of Heart. The Spanish analysis used 10-year data on
15,500 men and nearly 26,000 women who were participants in the
European Prospective Investigation into Cancer study.
But for men, there was a point at which the coronary benefits of alcohol declined, and risk began to rise again.
The
rate of coronary heart disease for non-drinking women in the study was
56 per 100,000. For women listed as low drinkers, averaging less than 5
grams a day, it was 42. For women who were moderate drinkers (5 to 30
grams a day), it was 36; for high drinkers (30 to 90 grams a day) it was
12; and for heavy drinkers (more than 90 grams a day) it was 12.
The
rates for men were 398 per 100,000 for those who never drank, 318 for
low drinkers, 255 for moderate drinkers, 278 for high drinkers and 334
for heavy drinkers, the researchers reported. Read more...
