ASSOCIATION OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
AND INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE IN MEN
AND WOMEN: THE 5th KOREA NATIONAL
HEALTH AND NUTRITIONAL EXAMINATION
SURVEY 2010-2012

Purpose: To assess the relationship between daily alcohol consumption and
intraocular pressure (IOP) in Korean men and women
Methods: We explored the effect of daily alcohol intake on high IOP in
7,532 adults who participated in the 2010-2012 Korean National Health and
Nutritional Examination Survey (KNHANES). Multiple logistic regression
analysis was used to assess the relationship between average daily alcohol
consumption and an IOP of ≥ 18 mmHg after adjusting for age, body mass
index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and smoking in each sex group.
Results: When adjusted for related factors, the odds of high IOP was 2.57
times (95% confidence interval, 1.239 to 5.314) higher in men with a daily
heavy alcohol intake than men with a heavy alcohol intake <1 per month.
However, increased odds of high IOP with daily alcohol consumption were
not found among women.
Conclusions: After adjusting for age and other confounders, there was a
significant relationship between daily alcohol consumption and high IOP in
men, whereas the relationship was not significant in women.
