(Newswire.net — April 11, 2022) Orlando, FL — Alcohol intake has long been known to be detrimental to various aspects of health, especially the liver. It is worth knowing that in a study, it has been found being obese or overweight worsens its impacts on the liver.
The study was carried out by researchers from the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre carried.
The research examined medical data of nearly 500,000 individuals and revealed that those who are overweight or obese had worsened alcohol-triggered liver disease and mortality.
The senior author, Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, said that people in the overweight or obese range who drank were found to be at greater risk of liver diseases compared with participants within a healthy weight range who consumed alcohol at the same level.
Stamatakis is a research program director from the Charles Perkins Centre and the Faculty of Medicine and Health.
“Even for people who drank within alcohol guidelines, participants classified as obese were at over 50 percent greater risk of liver disease,” he added.
In this research, the researchers gathered data from a large-scale biomedical cohort study containing in-depth biological, behavioral, and health information from participants in the United Kingdom (UK) called the UK Biobank.
The study results were published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
“The results suggest people carrying excess weight may need to be more aware of risks around alcohol consumption,” said lead author Dr ElifInan-Eroglu, a postdoctoral research fellow with the Charles Perkins Centre.
This is one of the first and largest studies that investigated the increased adiposity (overweight or obesity) and the level of alcohol intake altogether, in connection with future liver disease.
“With the most recent data suggesting two in three people — or 67 percent of the Australian population are in the overweight or obesity range, this is obviously a very topical issue,” he added.
This is just one of the many studies that looked into the various aspects of liver health. It is worth keeping in mind that experts have time and again recommended taking measures particularly helpful in protecting the liver.
One is to refrain from the consumption of alcohol and maintain a healthy weight. It is also worth keeping in mind that some nutrients like B vitamins have been found particularly beneficial for the liver.
