Alcohol consumption and carotid intima–media thickness in different genders: A cross-sectional UK biobank study
Owing to the limitations inherent in our study design, our findings can only be interpreted as hypothetical conclusions, and causal inference between alcohol consumption and CIMT cannot be established. Our findings indicate that moderate-to-heavy alcohol intake (>112 g/week) was associated with greater CIMT thickness in males, but not in females. These findings suggest a gender-specific impact of alcohol on CIMT thickening risk, warranting further investigation.
