TY - JOUR AU - Nygren, Karina AU - Hammarström, Anne AU - Rolandsson, Olov PY - 2017 DA - 2017/06/08 TI - Binge drinking and total alcohol consumption from 16 to 43 years of age are associated with elevated fasting plasma glucose in women: results from the northern Swedish cohort study JO - BMC Public Health SP - 509 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - Studies have indicated that moderate alcohol consumption is associated with lower incidence of diabetes in women. However, not only the amount but also the drinking pattern could be of importance when assessing the longitudinal relation between alcohol and glucose. Also, there is a lack of studies on alcohol use beginning in adolescence on adult glucose levels. The aim was to examine the association between total alcohol consumption and binge drinking between ages 16 and 43 and fasting plasma glucose at age 43.
