Summary: This study found a high prevalence of heavy drinking and binge drinking behaviors among older Brazilians, particularly among males, those with higher education, and in the younger age groups. All drinking patterns were associated with similar factors, including being male, younger, having higher education, tobacco smoking, and falls. Additionally, a higher number of chronic diseases was linked to lower prevalence of current drinking and binge drinking.

Summary: This study identified and validated novel epigenetic signatures of tobacco and alcohol consumption, which were found to be highly correlated with self-reported exposure status and associated with long-term health outcomes. Epigenetic signatures of lifestyle exposures may help reduce measurement issues and biases, and could potentially assist in risk stratification for early-stage targeted interventions.

Summary: This study found associations between lifestyle factors and the development of Parkinson's disease (PD) in a Korean population. Smoking had an inverse association with PD in men, while alcohol consumption and physical activity were related to reduced PD development in both sexes. Regular health screening showed a consistent relationship between lifestyle factors and PD development, while lifestyle factors in those without regular health screening had a decreased relationship with PD.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between moderate alcohol consumption and subjective quality of life in healthy adults. The findings suggest that while weekend alcohol consumption levels may be higher for individuals with moderate weekly alcohol intake, there is no significant association between overall moderate alcohol consumption and quality of life.

Summary: Increasing the price of alcohol can reduce alcohol consumption and harm. Alcohol and food are complements, and the price elasticity of alcohol decreases when the effect of food price is taken into account. Transaction costs do not affect the relationship between alcohol price and consumption, and fixed alcohol price policies are susceptible to inflation.

Summary: This study analyzed data from the UK Biobank cohort and found that healthy lifestyle behaviors are associated with decreased risk of hearing loss. Individuals with four to five healthy behaviors had a lower risk of hearing loss compared to those with no healthy behaviors. The population attributable risk for not adhering to any of the five low-risk lifestyle behaviors was estimated to be 15.6%.

Summary: This study found that consuming alcohol with meals is associated with a lower risk of T2D compared to consuming alcohol outside of meals. The beneficial association between moderate drinking and T2D risk was only observed in participants who consumed alcohol with meals. Among different types of alcoholic beverages, wine consumption showed the most significant association with lower risk of T2D.

Summary: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are leading causes of chronic liver diseases worldwide. While clinically distinguished by alcohol consumption, NAFLD coexists with moderate alcohol consumption in a growing proportion of the population. Studies have shown that even moderate alcohol consumption has impacts on liver injury, lipid metabolism, and the composition of gut microbiota.
