Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the relationship between alcohol consumption and metabolic syndrome (MetS) using data from 3,051 adults in the Swedish INTERGENE cohort, identifying different definitions of MetS (ATP III, IDF, JIS) and their varying prevalence rates.
- - Results indicated that medium to high alcohol consumption was linked to lower odds of MetS, while abstainers showed no significant differences; prevalence estimates for MetS ranged from 13.9% to 25.3%, with men generally being more affected than women.
- - The findings suggest that the impact of alcohol on MetS varies depending on the definition used, specifically that those meeting the strictest MetS criteria (ATP III) might actually benefit from
Objectives: To make a descriptive comparison of antibodies to four major periodontal bacteria and their relation to the respiratory diseases asthma and bronchitis/emphysema, and to cancer incidence.
Methods: The serum of a random sample of men with no history of cancer incidence (n=621) was analysed by the ELISA method for antibody levels of four periodontal bacteria; the anaerobes of the so-called red complex (TF), (PG), and (TD), and the facultative anaerobe (AA). The antibody readings were divided into quartiles and the distribution of cases of the relevant diseases as compared with the non-cases.
The objective of this scoping review is to evaluate the updated evidence on the consumption of alcohol and health outcomes regarded as relevant for the Nordic and Baltic countries, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and all-cause mortality. It is based on the previous Nordic Nutrition Recommendations of 2012 and relevant papers published until 31 May 2021. Current evidence from mainly observational epidemiological studies suggests that regular, moderate alcohol consumption may confer protective effects against myocardial infarction (MI) and type 2 diabetes.

Design: Prospective study.
Background The atherosclerotic effect of an adverse lipid profile is assumed to accumulate throughout life, leading to increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Still, little is known about age at onset and duration of unfavorable lipid levels before MI. Methods and Results Longitudinal data on serum lipid levels for 26 130 individuals (50.
