Is There a Link between Different Types of Alcoholic Drinks and Obesity? An Analysis of 280,183 UK Biobank Participants
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Outcomes
2.2. Alcohol Consumption
2.3. Covariates
2.4. Statistical Analysis
- (a)
- Multiple logistic regression to investigate the associations between overall alcohol consumption and alcoholic drink types with dichotomous (BMI-defined) overweight (25 kg/m2) and obesity (30 kg/m2).
- (b)
- Additional adjustment for education as an individual-level indicator of socioeconomic status using age completed the highest education qualification.
- (c)
- Additional analysis by including 2389 participants who were underweight but had a BMI over 13 kg/m2.
- (d)
- We combined previous and never drinkers as a reference in order to compare the results with previous studies.
