Alcohol consumption and the risk of colon cancer by family history of colorectal cancer
(Oxford University Press, 2012)Background: Individuals with a family history of colorectal cancer may be more susceptible to adverse effects of alcohol consumption. Objective: We investigated whether the association between alcohol consumption and colon ... -
Alcohol Consumption and Type 2 Diabetes: Influence of Genetic Variation in Alcohol Dehydrogenase
(American Diabetes Association, 2007)OBJECTIVE-We sought to investigate whether a polymorphism I in the alcohol dehydrogenase 1c (ADH1C) gene modifies the association between alcohol consumption and type 2 diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-In nested ... -
Alcohol Consumption at Midlife and Successful Ageing in Women: A Prospective Cohort Analysis in the Nurses' Health Study
(Public Library of Science, 2011)Background: Observational studies have documented inverse associations between moderate alcohol consumption and risk of premature death. It is largely unknown whether moderate alcohol intake is also associated with overall ... -

Alcohol consumption in relation to plasma sex hormones, prolactin and sex hormonebinding globulin in premenopausal women
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2014)Background: Alcohol consumption is a consistent risk factor for breast cancer, and evidence suggests premenopausal plasma hormones are associated with breast cancer.Methods: Plasma concentrations of estradiol, estrone, ... -
Alcohol consumption in relation to risk of cholecystectomy in women
(Oxford University Press, 2003)Background: Alcohol consumption has been linked to a lower risk of gallstone disease. However, the magnitude of the association is uncertain, and little is known about the relation of alcohol consumption patterns and ... -
Alcohol consumption is inversely associated with the risk of developing chronic kidney disease
(Elsevier, 2015)There are few reports of associations between alcohol consumption and risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). To investigate this further, we studied 5476 participants aged 28-75 years in the Prevention of Renal and Vascular ... -
Alcohol consumption over time and mortality in the Swedish Women’s Lifestyle and Health cohort
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2016)Background: Alcohol consumption is steadily increasing in high-income countries but the harm and possible net benefits of light-to-moderate drinking remain controversial. We prospectively investigated the association between ... -

Alcohol Consumption, Mediating Biomarkers, and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Among Middle-Aged Women
(American Diabetes Association, 2008)OBJECTIVE—The purpose of this study was to investigate whether adiponectin concentrations and biomarkers of inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and insulin resistance mediate the association between alcohol consumption ... -
Alcohol consumption, TaqIB polymorphism of cholesteryl ester transfer protein, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and risk of coronary heart disease in men and women
(Oxford University Press, 2007)Aims To investigate whether a common polymorphism in the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene modifies the relationship of alcohol intake with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and risk of coronary ... -
Alcohol drinking patterns by gender, ethnicity, and social class in Bahia, Brazil
(2004)Objective: To study patterns of alcohol consumption and prevalence of high-risk drinking. Methods: A household survey was carried out in a sample of 2,302 adults in Salvador, Brazil. Cases of High-Risk Drinking (HRD) were ... -
Alcohol intake and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphism modify the relation of folate intake to plasma homocysteine
(Oxford University Press, 2005)Background: Folate intake increases plasma folate and reduces total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations, which may lower coronary artery disease (CAD) and cancer risks. Folate metabolism may be altered by alcohol intake and ... -
Alcohol intake and ovarian cancer risk: a pooled analysis of 10 cohort studies
(Springer Nature, 2006)Alcohol has been hypothesized to promote ovarian carcinogenesis by its potential to increase circulating levels of estrogen and other hormones; through its oxidation byproduct, acetaldehyde, which may act as a cocarcinogen; ... -
Alcohol Intake and Pancreatic Cancer Risk: A Pooled Analysis of Fourteen Cohort Studies
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2009)Background: Few risk factors have been implicated in pancreatic cancer etiology. Alcohol has been theorized to promote carcinogenesis. However, epidemiologic studies have reported inconsistent results relating alcohol ... -
Alcohol intake and pancreatic cancer: a pooled analysis from the pancreatic cancer cohort consortium (PanScan)
(Springer (part of Springer Nature), 2010)The literature has consistently reported no association between low to moderate alcohol consumption and pancreatic cancer; however, a few studies have shown that high levels of intake may increase risk. Most single studies ... -
