An international study with more than 2 million people showed that using any dose of alcohol increases the risk of development of Democracy. Previously, it was assumed that from alcohol's light to moderate use can protect the recent decline, but the new data denies this hypothesis. The study was published in the BMJ Evidence Based Medicine magazine.
The analysis included data from more than half a million participants in the United States and the Great Britain, as well as genetic information of 2.4 million. The study of the study revealed a "U-shaped effect." The non-drinking and moderate drinkers had a higher risk of Demencies than moderate drinkers. However, the genetic method called Mendelyan, which allows you to identify causal links, showed another result. The risk is growing linearly along with the growth of alcohol consumption, without low portions of evidence of "protective" impact.
According to the authors' calculations, each additional dose of alcohol has been genetically related to the probability of about 15% of the probability of Demencies. Moreover, the predisposition of alcohol dependence increased by 16%.
Researchers also noted that later Demencies Diagnosed have reduced alcohol use a few years before the diagnosis. This can distort the image in previous studies, creating the impression that the refusal of alcohol leads to a higher risk of the disease, while in reality it was the result of early manifestations of the Demence.
"Our results question the common opinion that moderately alcohol uses useful for the brain. On the contrary, the data show that even small portions can increase the likelihood of cognitive disorders, "the authors said.
They appreciate that if the number of people with alcohol is halved, the events of the Demencies may decrease by 16%.
