Even Moderate Drinking May Raise Hypertension Risk in Diabetes
New research suggests that even moderate alcohol consumption may raise hypertension risk in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Investigators analyzed data from over 10,000 adults participating in the ACCORD trial and found that moderate alcohol consumption raised the odds of elevated blood pressure (BP), stage I hypertension, and stage II hypertension by 79%, 66%, and 62%, respectively.
After accounting for covariates, the researchers found that heavy alcohol consumption was associated with an almost twofold risk of elevated BP, a 2.5-fold increase of stage I hypertension, and a threefold risk of stage II hypertension.
“Since moderate and heavy alcohol consumption are independently associated with higher odds of hypertension in patients with diabetes in this trial, we advise discussing the effects of moderate and heavy alcohol consumption on blood pressure in patients with diabetes, especially those who are having difficulty achieving adequate control of their hypertension,” senior author Matthew J. Singleton, MD, chief electrophysiology fellow at Wake Forest School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology.
The new results from ACCORD were published online September 9 in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
