Abstract

Light and moderate drinking is associated with lower risk of metabolic syndrome (Mets)‑related diseases in the general population. Non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered to be a phenotype of Mets in the liver. Although there have been some reports of the association between NAFLD and light alcohol consumption (LAC), the association between Mets‑related diseases and LAC in the subjects with and without fatty liver is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the influence of LAC on Mets‑related diseases in individuals with and those without fatty liver. This study included 1,190 men who underwent regular health check‑ups and consumed <20 g/day of alcohol. The subjects were divided into two groups, the non‑fatty liver group and fatty liver group, and investigated the association between Mets‑related diseases and LAC. Fatty liver was diagnosed by abdominal ultrasound. The effect of LAC was different between the non‑fatty liver and fatty liver groups. In the non‑fatty liver group, the odds ratio (OR) for hypertension was 1.73 (1.04‑2.88;2 P=0.035). In the fatty liver group, the OR for each Mets‑related diseases were as follows: Dyslipidemia, 0.64 (0.44‑0.95, P=0.028); impaired glucose tolerance 0.57 (0.37‑0.88; P=0.012); chronic kidney disease, 0.58 (0.36‑0.94; P=0.029); and Mets by Japanese criteria, 0.63 (0.44‑0.92; P=0.016). The influence of LAC on Mets‑related diseases differs based on the presence of fatty liver. In individuals without fatty liver, light drinking is an independent risk factor for hypertension.
