“…Our findings showed that alcohol drinking increased the risk of anemia, and was correlated with reduced Hb and RBC levels. Consistent with our results, the previous studies demonstrated a positive correlation between alcohol drinking and anemia [32,33]. A case study in the UK observed that a 56-year-old type 2 diabetic male with chronic alcohol abuse for more than 10 years experienced severe anemia [32].…”

“…A case study in the UK observed that a 56-year-old type 2 diabetic male with chronic alcohol abuse for more than 10 years experienced severe anemia [32]. A previous study in India found that subjects aged ≥ 18 years with moderate (alcohol < 11 drinks/day) to severe intakes (alcohol ≥ 11 drinks/day) of alcohol had lower Hb, RBC, and mean corpuscular Hb concentrations (p < 0.001) compared to those who did not drink alcohol [33]. However, Japanese women (20-49 years) who were habitual drinkers decreased the risk of anemia by 27%−33% (20-34-year women: OR = 0.67, 95% CI 0.48, 0.92, p = 0.015, 35-49-year women: OR = 0.73, 95% CI 0.64, 0.83, p < 0.001) compared to those who were non-drinkers, after adjusting for the covariates [28].…”

Inadequate dietary intake, poor nutritional status, heavy smoking, and alcohol consumption are associated with the risk of anemia. The objective of this study was to investigate the associations between dietary patterns, lifestyle, nutritional status, and anemia-related biomarkers among adults using a multivariable regression model. Taiwanese adults aged 20–45 years (n = 118,924, 43,055 men and 75,869 women) were obtained from the Mei Jau Health Management Institution database, between 2001 and 2015, for data analysis. The anemia–inflammation-related dietary pattern was derived by reduced rank regression analysis. Dietary patterns with high intakes of eggs, meat, organ meats, rice or flour products, fried foods, sugary beverages, and processed foods significantly increased the risk of anemia, and was associated with decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cells, but increased white blood cells and C-reactive protein levels. Moreover, current alcohol drinkers, as well as people who were underweight, overweight, obese, and central obese, were more likely to increase their risk of anemia by 46%, 20%, 23%, 34%, and 28%, respectively. Interestingly, participants who are current or past smokers were inversely associated with risk of anemia. In conclusion, adherence to the anemia–inflammation dietary pattern was associated with an increased risk of anemia in Taiwanese adults. Furthermore, abnormal weight status and alcohol drinking were correlated with an increased risk of anemia.

“…Recently, a cross-sectional study has been published in which comparison of haematological parameters between alcoholics and non-alcoholics were done. The findings indicated that mean RBC count, mean MCH, MCHC were normal among the non-alcoholic group and decreased among moderate alcoholics and more so with severe alcoholics and a similar type of result was also seen with total count and platelet count [14]. A study from Japan attempted to characterise the change in the white blood cell counts with varying alcohol consumption levels as it has been seen that lower number of white blood cells has been associated with a decreased risk for chronic heart disease [15].…”

to the nervous system and internal organs. Moreover, illicit drug uses are commonly linked with aplastic anaemia, bone marrow repression and variety of systemic disorders [3]. Hence, early diagnosis of these disorders and identification of the complications they result in is important. Haematology is the branch of medicine that deals with blood, blood-forming organs and blood disorders. This article summarizes current information on the haematological changes that are observed in different substance use disorders and the utility of these changes in clinical assessment. Overview of Substances Alcohol Alcohol is the most commonly used worldwide. Alcohol consumption is one of the leading causes of death. Chronic alcohol intake can interfere with various physiological, biochemical and metabolic processes of the blood cells and affect multiple organ systems. Alcohol use, especially in heavy drinkers, can cause different metabolic derangements. Haematological adverse effects of acute and chronic alcohol use result from both direct and indirect effects [4,5]. The direct consequences include toxicity to the blood-forming organs (viz. bone marrow); the blood cell precursors; and the mature Red Blood Cells (RBC's), White Blood Cells (WBC's), and platelets, resulting in fewer than-normal or non-functional mature blood cells. Alcohol's indirect effects include metabolic or physiological alterations resulting in liver disease and nutritional deficiencies such as folate deficiencies that

“…A study done in India reported that moderate and chronic alcohol consumption decreases haemoglobin levels. 54 The difference might be due to the difference in sample size and study setting. The previous study was done on a very small sample size (n=75) and it was an institutional-based study.…”

“…However, the finding of this study is inconsistent with previous studies done in different parts of the world. [53][54][55][56] The difference might be mainly due to the variation in the type of alcohol commonly used in different countries. A study done in India reported that moderate and chronic alcohol consumption decreases haemoglobin levels.…”

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the effect of alcohol consumption on haemoglobin levels among non-pregnant reproductive age women using national representative data.MethodA secondary data analysis was conducted using data from the 2016 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey. The main outcome of interest was anaemia defined as a haemoglobin value <12 g/which was measured using HemoCue, and adjusted for both altitude and smoking status. The main exposure variable was alcohol consumption. Both multivariable logistic regression and generalised linear model were employed to assess the association between alcohol consumption and anaemia and to compare the mean of haemoglobin between the non-drinkers and three alcohol consumption frequency categories, respectively, after adjusting for the potential confounders.ResultIn the current analysis, a total of 13 436 non-pregnant women were included. The overall prevalence of anaemia among non-pregnant women was 23.2% of which 17.9% were mildly anaemic, 4.6% were moderately anaemic and 0.7% were severely anaemic. There was a significant negative association between anaemia and respondents’ history and frequency of alcohol consumption in the pooled sample. Among non-pregnant women, the odds of having anaemia were decreased with a history of alcohol drinking (adjusted OR (AOR)=0.32 (95% CI: 0.214 to 0.394)). Women who drunk alcohol less than once a week ((AOR=0.54 (95% CI: 0.31 to 0.94), those who drunk alcohol at least once a week (AOR=0.50 (95% CI: 0.28 to 0.88)) and who drunk alcohol almost every day in the last 12 months (AOR=0.42 (95% CI: 0.21 to 0.81)) had significantly lower odds of having anaemia than women who had not ever taken a drink that contain alcohol.ConclusionThis study showed that nearly a quarter of non-pregnant women in Ethiopia were found to be anaemic. Alcohol consumption increases haemoglobin concentration. Further cohort or experimental studies are therefore needed to further assess the relationship between alcohol consumption and haemoglobin level among Ethiopian populations.
