Alcohol consumption and metabolic parameters in type 2 diabetic men

초록

Object: Alcohol drinking is associated with various aspects of metabolism in type 2 diabetes. The aim of the study was to examine the current drinking status and its association with metabolic parameters in type 2 diabetic men. Methods: A total of 2,504 men with type 2 diabetes enrolled in the Korean National Diabetes Program from March, 2006 to Novermeber 2012 and had finished a survey on drinking at baseline was included in the study. Drinking was categorized to non-drinker, <30g drinker, ≥30g drinker. Results: Among the participants, 35.6% were non-drinkers, 44.6% <30g drinker, and 19.9% ≥30g drinker. Larger amount of drinking was associated with younger age, shorter duration of diabetes, higher stress and calorie intake and less intakes of fiber, calcium, and vitamins. Heavier drinking was associated with higher BMI, waist circumference, fasting glucose, 2hr postprandial glucose, blood pressure, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol. Compared with non-drinkers, OR of having metabolic syndrome was 1.09 (0.87-1.36) for <30g drinkers and 1.45 (1.09-1.92) for ≥30g drinkers (Ptrend=0.015 after adjustment). Conclusion: Excess drinking in type 2 diabetic men was associated with unhealthy eating, stress and metabolic syndrome and its risk factors.
