Alcohol consumption patterns in Thailand and their relationship with non-communicable disease
Fondness for alcohol may facilitate the onset of non-communicable (chronic) diseases in men and women.
This study evaluated alcohol use in relation to the burden of non-communicable (chronic) diseases in Thailand. Researchers compared alcohol drinking habits with the occurrence rates of non-communicable diseases among 87,151 individuals from Thailand.
Researchers identified an upward trend in the incidence of chronic diseases among participants who drank 4 or more drinks per occasion. This study further affirmed that heavy consumption of alcohol may play a significant role in the development of non-communicable diseases.
