Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the association between alcohol consumption and abdominal fat.

METHODS

Cross-sectional study carried out in a sample of male blood donors (n=1,235), aged 20-59 years, in the city of Cuiabá, Central-West Brazil, between August 1999 and January 2000. Waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio were indicators of abdominal fat, adjusted for total adiposity. Weight, height, waist and hip circumferences were measured. Alcohol consumption was evaluated using a questionnaire collecting information on type, frequency, and amount of consumption. The association between alcohol consumption and abdominal fat was assessed through multiple linear regression models adjusted for age, physical activity, smoking, and percent of body fat.

RESULTS

After adjustment, waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio were positively associated with beer (p=0.02) and total alcohol consumption (p=0.01; p=0.03, respectively). Waist circumference was positively associated with spirit consumption (p=0.04).

CONCLUSIONS

Alcohol intake, particularly beer, was positively associated to abdominal fat.

摘要

目的

评估饮酒与腹部脂肪之间的关联。

方法

于1999年8月至2000年1月在巴西中西部城市库亚巴对1235名年龄在20 - 59岁的男性献血者样本进行横断面研究。腰围和腰臀比是腹部脂肪的指标，并针对总体肥胖情况进行了调整。测量了体重、身高、腰围和臀围。通过一份收集饮酒类型、频率和饮酒量信息的问卷来评估饮酒情况。通过对年龄、身体活动、吸烟和体脂百分比进行调整的多元线性回归模型评估饮酒与腹部脂肪之间的关联。
