Association of <i>ALDH2</i> Genotypes and Alcohol Intake with Dietary Patterns: The Bunkyo Health Study

Dietary habits are associated with various diseases and assessed by dietary patterns (DPs). Since the <i>ALDH2</i> genotype is correlated with alcohol and several food preferences, this genotype is probably associated with DPs. In this cross-sectional study of 1612 elderly adults, we inv...

description Dietary habits are associated with various diseases and assessed by dietary patterns (DPs). Since the <i>ALDH2</i> genotype is correlated with alcohol and several food preferences, this genotype is probably associated with DPs. In this cross-sectional study of 1612 elderly adults, we investigated the effects of the <i>ALDH2</i> genotype on DPs and the mediating role of alcohol intake. We identified the <i>ALDH2</i> genotype and conducted a dietary history survey, then used principal component analysis to determine DPs for each gender. We performed multiple regression analysis to determine the independent contribution of the <i>ALDH2</i> genotype and alcohol intake to DP scores. We identified three DPs: the “Japanese side dish type” (DP1), the “Japanese dish with alcohol type” (DP2), and the “Western dish with alcohol type” (DP3). In men, the single nucleotide polymorphism <i>ALDH2</i> rs671 was significantly associated with all DP scores. When alcohol intake was added as a covariate, <i>ALDH2</i> rs671 was still significantly correlated with the DP2 score but not with the DP1 or DP3 score, and alcohol intake was significantly correlated with all DP scores. In women, <i>ALDH2</i> rs671 was significantly associated with the DP2 and DP3 scores; however, after adding alcohol intake as a covariate, these associations disappeared, and alcohol intake significantly correlated with all DP scores. In conclusion, the <i>ALDH2</i> genotype was associated with several DPs in elderly adults, but most associations were mediated by alcohol intake.
