Drinking and Its Relation to Smoking, BP, Blood Lipids, and Uric Acid: The Framingham Study
Abstract
Drinking habits and other characteristics were observed for 20 years in a cohort of 5,209 Framingham, Mass, men and women. During this period the average amount of alcohol consumed rose 63%. The percent increase was greater for women than men and greater for younger persons than older. Serum uric acid and phospholipid concentrations were higher at higher levels of alcohol consumption. Lipoprotein levels of 0 to 12 and 100 to 400 Svedberg units were positively associated with alcohol consumption in men but negatively associated with alcohol consumption in women. Blood pressure was higher in nondrinkers than light drinkers, but among drinkers BPs were higher at higher consumption levels. While cigarette smokers had lower BPs than nonsmokers, this seemed to be due to their lower weight. Persons who increased their alcohol consumption during follow-up had a small mean increase in serum phospholipid and uric acid levels, BP, and weight relative to the average changes for these variables.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
