| description | Background: Our group previously identified that females with AUD and females engaging in heavy or extreme binge drinking were more likely to report cancers and other medical conditions compared to their male counterparts. This analysis aimed to extend our previous findings to examine relationships between sex and consumption of alcohol by type on past year medical condition diagnoses. Methods: Data from the U.S. National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC-III; n = 36,309) was used to evaluate associations between sex (female vs. male) and alcohol type (liquor, wine, beer, coolers) on past year self-reported doctor-confirmed medical conditions, controlling for frequency of alcohol consumption. Results: A significant interaction demonstrated that females who consumed liquor were more likely to have other medical conditions (OR=1.95) compared to males who consumed liquor. Females who consumed wine in the past year were less likely to have cardiovascular conditions (OR=0.81) compared to males who consumed wine. Those who consumed liquor had increased odds of pain, respiratory, and other conditions (OR=1.11 – 1.21). Females were 1.5 times more likely to have cancers or pain, respiratory, and other medical conditions compared to males (OR=1.36 – 1.81). Conclusions: Results identify that consumption of higher alcohol content drinks (i.e., liquor) is associated with past year self-reported doctor- or health-professional confirmed medical conditions in females compared to males consuming the same high alcohol content beverage. Not only should AUD status and risky drinking be considered in the clinical care of individuals with poorer health but also alcohol type, especially higher alcohol content beverages. |
