Alcohol and Metabolic Syndrome
| Tue, 08-12-2008 - 10:13pm |
People who drink too much have increased odds of developing metabolic syndrome, a series of risk factors and conditions that are strongly related to cardiovascular disease, a new study says.
The study, expected to be published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, defines excess drinking as more than two drinks per day for men or one drink a day for women. Binge drinkers are also considered to be at an increased risk.
Conditions of metabolic syndrome include obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes.
