Alcohol Consumption and Blood Pressure: Kaiser-Permanente Multiphasic Health Examination Data
Abstract
We studied blood pressure in relation to known drinking habits of 83,947 men and women of three races (83.5 per cent white). Using health-check-up questionnaire responses, we classified persons as nondrinkers or according to usual daily number of drinks: two or fewer per day, three to five per day, or six or more per day. As compared to nondrinkers blood pressures of men taking two or fewer drinks per day were similar. Women who took two or fewer drinks per day had slightly lower pressures. Men and women who took three or more drinks per day had higher systolic pressures (P less than 10(-24) in white men, and less than 10(-12) in white women), higher diastolic pressures (P less than 10(-24) in white men, and less than 10(-6) in white women), and substantially higher prevalence of pressures greater than or equal to 160/95 mm Hg. The associations of blood pressure and drinking were independent of age, sex, race, smoking, coffee use, former "heavy" drinking, educational attainment and adiposity. The findings strongly suggest that regular use of three or more drinks of alcohol per day is a risk factor for hypertension.

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.
