“Dr. Theerawat” reveals the results of a study that drinking alcohol reduces dementia But don’t be happy Drinking more dangerous reveals a follow-up study of 4 million Koreans

Date 20 March 2023 Professor Dr Teerawat Hemajutha or a stubborn doctor Director of the Emerging Diseases Health Science Center Chulalongkorn University Faculty of Medicine Post a message via Facebook. Thiravat Hemachudha Revealing the results of the study of alcohol consumption which some alcohol Back to reduce dementia!!!!!!!

This study is not meant to encourage people to drink. Because we all know that drinking alcohol is of all kinds. If you don’t recognize yourself, keep increasing the amount. until he becomes addicted to drinking, his life and his own family will be ruined and there will be huge disorders in the physical and mental world.

The results of this study Report in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA network open), February 6, 2023.

Conclusion The study project It is the group that maintains the drinking level at some point. Even if I drink moderately Reduce the risk of dementia and reduce the amount of heavy drinking to moderate drinking It will also reduce the risk of dementia. and in the meantime not to drink at all He begins to drink some in small quantities. It will also reduce the risk of dementia.

This is a follow-up study of 4 million Koreans (3,933,382 people) starting in 2009 and of these At baseline, 54.8% were abstainers, 26.7% were drinkers, 11.0% were moderate drinkers and 7.5% were heavy drinkers heavy

Moderate, moderate and heavy drinking levels are based on the standard alcohol content, that is, one drink = 14 grams of alcohol.

Some drinkers or light drinkers are less than 15 grams a day, or about one drink.

Moderate drinking ranges from 15 to 29.9 grams a day, or about the same as one to two drinks and

Heavy drinking is greater than or equal to 30 grams per day, which is greater than or equal to three drinks.

Between 2009 and 2011, 24.2% of moderate drinkers, 8.4% of moderate drinkers, and 7.6% of heavy drinkers stopped drinking completely.

But over the same period, 13.9% of the non-drinking group, 16.1% of the moderate drinkers, and 17.4% of the moderate drinkers increased their drinking level.

During a median follow-up of 6.3 years, 2.5% (100,282 people) had dementia, 2% (79,982 people) were identified as having Alzheimer’s disease and 0.3% (11,085 people) as suffering from capillary-induced Alzheimer’s disease blocked brain tissue (vascular dementia).

unexpected information In this study, Compared to those who did not drink at all at the start of the study. Instead, the light and moderate drinking groups had a 21% (aHR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.77-0.81) and 17% (aHR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.79-0.88) risk of dementia, in the respectively, but among heavy drinkers there was an 8% increase in risk (aHR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.03–1.12).

The relationship between dose and risk of dementia was in this way the same for Alzheimer’s disease. and dementia from blood clots

• Reducing alcohol intake from heavy to moderate drinking reduces the risk of both types of dementia.

• Similarly, increasing the dose from moderate to heavy increases the risk of both types of dementia.

• But information that seems strange but is true. That is, in the group that does not drink at all and begins to drink somewhat in the later stages There was a 7 percent reduction in the total risk of dementia (aHR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.90-0.96) and a reduction of 8 percent in Alzheimer’s disease (aHR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.89 -0.95) compared to the group that had already drunk some from the beginning

This means that by starting to drink a little, and then never drinking at all, the risk of dementia is reduced.
What knowledge of not drinking at all is something drinking benefits No study has been reported anywhere before. and the head of the research team emphasized that the results of this study do not persuade someone who does not drink at all to start drinking.

Either this study or previous studies Once you start drinking and can’t stop yourself becoming addicted to alcohol, high doses triple your risk of dementia.
On the other hand, those who already drink small amounts can maintain the amount at that level without having to worry And there can be some small hidden happiness that he still has a clear mind.

Finally, the study team explained the limitations of this study. The amount of alcohol that each person reports may be Less than the actual drinking proportion At the same time, the type of alcoholic drinks was not categorized in this study as spirits, beer, wine or other drinks .
and another issue is Those who took part in the study were those who had regular health checks.

Therefore, the population may already be relatively healthy and have a healthier lifestyle than the general population in Korea. Another important point is that this study did not consider the promoter genes that cause Al. Zimmer and

Finally, these data are limited to Koreans, so it may not be possible to fully say whether it can be applied to other races as they may have genetic differences in alcohol metabolism.

The easiest thing we can do is Never drink, don’t drink Or if you drink it, it’s a healthy drink in small amounts.
