“…Over the past several decades, many epidemiologic studies have examined the role of alcohol as both a risk factor and a potential protective factor for metabolic syndrome. Heavy alcohol consumption has been linked to an increased risk of metabolic syndrome (Baik & Shin, 2008;Fan et al, 2008;Jin et al, 2011;Yoon, Oh, Baik, Park, & Kim, 2004;Zhu, St-Onge, Heshka, & Heymsfield, 2004). However, studies investigating the association between moderate alcohol consumption and metabolic syndrome have reported conflicting results.…”

“…However, only a few studies focusing on the association between cigarette smoking and/or alcohol consumption and the risk of MetS have been done in Chinese populations. 5 , 21 – 23 Among these studies, none have explored the interactions between cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption and the risk of MetS. Assessing the influence of smoking and drinking on MetS has important public health implications since central obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia are common conditions that are frequently diagnosed in the same individual.…”

BackgroundWhether cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption are associated with the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains controversial. This study investigated the associations of cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption with MetS in a male population in China.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was used to collect data on cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, MetS status, and other related information from 8169 men aged 19–97 years. Logistic regression was used to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the associations between smoking and alcohol consumption and the risk of MetS.ResultsThe prevalence of MetS was 15.2% in the study population. Proportions of current smokers and drinkers were 48.2% and 46.5%, respectively. Adjusted OR of MetS was 1.34 (95% CI, 1.01–1.79) among smokers who smoked ≥40 cigarettes/day compared with nonsmokers and 1.22 (95% CI 1.03–1.46) for those who consumed 0.1–99 grams of alcohol/day compared with nondrinkers. Adjusted OR was 2.32 (95% CI 1.45–3.73) among ex-drinkers who never smoked, 1.98 (95% CI 1.35–2.91) among ex-drinkers who were current smokers, and 1.34 (95% CI 1.08–1.68) among current drinkers who never smoked compared with those who neither smoked nor drank. There was a significant interaction between smoking and drinking alcohol on MetS (P for interaction is 0.001).ConclusionsOur study indicated that smoking and drinking is associated with higher prevalence of MetS. Interactions between smoking and drinking on the risk of MetS in men in China may also exist. Our findings need to be confirmed in future case-control or cohort studies.

“…Jin et al [66] found an increase of the abdominal obesity risk factor in those individuals consuming ≥ 50 g/day. In agreement to this finding, in a study conducted with British individuals, it was noted that a consumption of 30 g or more of ethanol increased the risk of a high BMI and weight gain [43].…”

Alcohol consumption can be the cause of several diseases. Depending on the frequency and quantity, the consumption of alcohol may increase the risk of malnutrition, weight-gain, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to review the influence of alcohol intake on nutritional status, lipid profile and blood pressure. The review shows that the additional consumption of ethanol calories will favor weight gain and metabolic changes and may engrave the risk of cardiovascular diseases, altering the lipid profile and promoting hypertension. Recommending a moderate use of alcohol with the purpose of taking advantage of its health benefits must not be done.
