Correlation between alcohol intake and smoking and hypertension in Mongolian people

  Objective   To investigate correlation between smoking cigarette and alcohol intake and hypertension in Mongolian people.

  Methods   The blood pressure.etc were measured and factors including smoking cigarette and alcohol intake were investigated for 2 589 Mongolian people aged 20 and above 20 years old, the statistic analysis were done by using chi square test and multiple logistic model, and correlation and correlation intensity were evaluated by using OR, dose-effects relations between alcohol intake and hypertension were analyzed by means of Mantel-Haenszel chi square trend test.

  Results  

  Results   of single factor analysis showed that age, gender(male), smoking cigarette, alcohol intake, overweight(BMI≥25), abdomen fat(WHR≥0.9), hyperglycosemia and family history of hypertension were all correlated with hypertension(P < 0.05).After adjustment for age, gender, BMI, WHR, blood glucose and family history of hypertension by multiple logistic model, there were no correlation between smoking cigarette and hypertension(OR=0.823, P > 0.05), there were significant correlation between alcohol intake and hypertension(OR=1.705, P < 0.0001).

  Results   of dose-effect analysis showed that the risk of hypertension increased with quantity of alcohol intake.

  Conclusion   Alcohol intake could be a independent risk factor of hypertension in Mongolian people, and the risk of hypertension increased with the quantity of alcohol intake.Smoking cigarette could not be a risk factor of hypertension.
