Associations between alcohol consumption and body fat distribution in type 1 diabetes
Authors' conclusion
In adults with T1D, alcohol consumption is linearly associated with VFM% regardless of sex, whereas the association with BFM% is sex-dependent.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with T1D from the Finnish Diabetic Nephropathy Study; body composition by DXA
- Participants
- 548 adults
- Exposure
- Alcohol consumption categories
- Outcome
- Alcohol consumption and body fat distribution
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Higher alcohol consumption, higher visceral fat mass (VFM)% in both sexes (r2 = 0.23, β = 0.083)
- p = 0.04
- Higher alcohol consumption, higher body fat mass (BFM)% in men (r2 = 0.12, β = 0.160); not in women
- p = 0.01
- Odds of central obesity per 1 weekly dose increase: +3% (OR 1.03); not general obesity
- p = 0.037
- High-risk consumption: odds of central obesity OR 7.3
- p = 0.003
- High-risk consumption: odds of general obesity OR 5.3
- p = 0.007
Observational data: associations, not effects.
