More than 1 drink a day increases blood pressure for people with type-2 diabetes, know how much the risk increases.
Everyone knows how much excessive consumption of alcohol is dangerous for our health and even then why not the consumption of alcohol can cause many fatal diseases in human body. Many doctors believe that if a limited amount of alcohol is found then it can prove beneficial for the body, but many people are often confused about how much alcohol is beneficial for the body and how much. Quantity can wreak havoc on our body. The same thing has been warned by researchers that in adults with type-2 diabetes, drinking eight or more alcoholic drinks a week may increase the risk of high blood pressure (also known as high blood pressure).
Matthew J., professor and senior author of studies at Wake Forest University in the United States "This is the first major study to examine the association of alcohol intake and hypertension in adults with type-2 diabetes," said Singleton. He said that previous studies suggested that higher alcohol consumption was associated with higher blood pressure, however, the association of limited alcohol intake with hypertension was unclear.
For the results, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, the research team examined the relationship between alcohol intake and blood pressure in more than 10,000 adults suffering from type-2 diabetes (63 years old on average, 61 years old in men).
Before enrolling in the study, the medical history of the participants was looked at and found that on average they had type-2 diabetes for 10 years. Beyond 10 years with type-2 diabetes, they were at an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases because they already had heart disease or had at least two additional risk factors for heart disease such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, Smoking or obesity. . The study did not place any special emphasis on alcohol consumption, but rather all of them on a low (one to seven drinks per week), moderate (eight to 14 drinks per week) and high (15 or more drinks per week) three. Were classified into groups.
One drink of wine was equivalent to a 12-ounce beer, 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1.5 ounces of hard liquor. The number of drinks per week was self-reported via a questionnaire by each participant when enrolled in the study.
Researchers found that light eating was not associated with any stage of high blood pressure or hypertension. However, drinking alcohol in general was associated with a 79 percent increase in blood pressure, with stage-one hypertension 66 percent and stage-two hypertension 62 percent.
Findings have shown that drinking a large amount of alcohol carries a risk of high blood pressure by 91 percent. The first phase saw an increase of 149 percent (2.49-fold increase) in high blood pressure and 204 percent (3.04-fold increase) in hypertension in the second phase.
The authors of the study wrote, "People with type-2 diabetes are at high heart risk and our findings suggest that alcohol intake is associated with high blood pressure, so limited drinking is recommended."
