Alcohol-hypertension association among Chinese Tibetans and potential mechanism: a cross-sectional analysis
This large-scale study underscores that the impact of occasional drinking on hypertension varies by gender, while consistent associations between frequent alcohol consumption and a higher prevalence of hypertension were observed. Given the differing mediating effects of metabolic abnormalities across individuals with varying alcohol consumption patterns, tailored interventions should be implemented. These findings provide valuable evidence to inform public health strategies to prevent hypertension.
