“…They also noticed that, after 2 weeks of alcohol abstinence, the HDL-C levels decreased to normal range. A study done by Choudhary et al found higher serum HDL-C in heavy alcohol drinkers [14]. However, in our study, there was no significant association observed between alcohol consumption and blood HDL level.…”

Objective: The objectives of this study is to assess the association of selected risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) with lipid profile. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted during May 2013-April 2014 among 350 subjects of 25-64 years selected by systematic random sampling. Data on sociodemographic and medical and personal history along with anthropometric measurements were collected through house-tohouse visit. Blood sample was analyzed for fasting blood sugar and lipid profile. Results:In this study, 38.58% belong to the age group of 25-35 years and 58% were female. Majority (45.43%) of the participants belonged to lower socioeconomic status, followed by the middle (40.57%) and upper class (14%). It was observed that total cholesterol was significantly associated with blood sugar (p=0.0008), blood pressure (p=0.001), and body mass index (BMI) (p=0.018). There was no significant association among the risk factors of CHD such as smoking and alcohol with total cholesterol. Low-density lipoprotein level was significantly associated with BMI (p=0.0001) and blood sugar (p=0.003). There was a significant association among the risk factors for CHD such as smoking (p=0.002), alcohol, (p=0.017) blood sugar (p=0.004), and BMI (p=0.014) with triglyceride level. Conclusion:It was concluded from this study that various risk factors for CHD were associated with lipid abnormalities. Hence, a community-based education in this regard is of paramount importance.

“…Potential mechanisms by which moderate ethanol intake might reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease have previously been reported. 14,[26][27][28][29] Alcohol intake has been associated with elevated serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, 14,26 as well as reductions in blood clotting factors, 27 platelet aggregation, 28 and insulin resistance. 29 Some studies have demonstrated a more beneficial effect for wine than for other alcoholic beverages.…”

“…This result is consistent with the results of other epidemiologic or metabolic studies concerning the effects of different types of alcoholic beverages on blood pressure 43 or lipids. 14,30 To decrease blood pressures nationwide, it is important to reduce, or at least not to increase, alcohol consumption in the Japanese population, irrespective of the type of beverage consumed. …”

“…Recently, epidemiologic researchers have been exploring the differing effects of various types of alcoholic beverages on cardiovascular disease or risk factors. [14][15][16][17][18] However, there are few studies that examine the association of the Japanese traditional alcoholic beverage with hypertension. Sake (Japanese rice wine) and shochu (spirits made from barley, sweet potato or rice or any combination of these) are traditional alcoholic beverages in Japan.…”

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of popular Japanese alcoholic beverages on blood pressure. We performed a cross-sectional study on 4335 Japanese male workers using baseline data from an intervention study. We defined six groups according to the type of alcoholic beverage that provided two-thirds of the subject's total alcohol consumption: beer, sake (rice wine), shochu (traditional Japanese spirits), whiskey, wine and others. The partial regression coefficients of daily alcohol intake (1 drink ¼ 11.5 g of ethanol) to systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were 0.87(Po0.001, standard error (s.e.) ¼ 0.09) and 0.77(Po0.001, s.e. ¼ 0.06), respectively. A comparison among the types of alcoholic beverages mainly consumed revealed significant differences in SBP and DBP. Both SBP and DBP were highest in the shochu group. However, an analysis of covariance adjusting for total alcohol consumption resulted in the disappearance of these differences. Although after adjustment for total alcohol consumption, the shochu group exhibited a significant positive association with 'high-normal blood pressure or greater' (odds ratio 1.43, 95% confidence interval 1.06-1.95) compared with the beer group, this significant relation disappeared after adjusting for the body mass index (BMI), urinary sodium and potassium excretion. The pressor effect, per se, of popular Japanese alcoholic beverages on blood pressure may not be different among the types of alcoholic beverages after adjusting for other lifestyle factors.

“…10, 11); alcohol consumption and physical activity increase serum HDL-C concentration, thereby conferring an antiatherogenic property [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] However, few studies have evaluated the relative importance of these factors in the variation of atherogenicity of serum lipid profile 8.10.16) We investigated the relationship of cigarette smoking, alcohol use, recreational physical activity and obesity with serum lipid atherogenicity in middle-aged Japanese men.…”

Alcohol Intake and Serum Lipids in a Japanese Population

Abstract: Alcohol drinkers have a higher HDL-cholesterol level and lower LDL-cholesterol level than non-drinkers. This anti-atherogenic lipid profile in alcohol drinkers may be explained by the effect of alcohol on serum lipids independent of age, BMI and smoking.
