6. Reported alcohol intake, diet and body mass index in male smokers

Author

Mannisto, S., Pietinen, P., Haukka, J., Ovaskainen, M.-L., Albanes, D., and Virtamo, J.

Subjects

Abstract

Alcohol consumption is positively related to cigarette smoking but unrelated to energy intake from food. Although the mean energy intake increases with alcohol consumption, alcohol does not substitute for food. The average body mass index is 25.8 kg/m squared for daily drinkers and 26.4 kg/m squared for occasional drinkers. Daily alcohol drinkers are leaner, and have a 100-200 kcal lower total energy intake than non-drinkers or occasional drinkers.

Author

Abstract

A study was conducted among men with ages ranging from age 30 to 69 years to determine the effects of oral beta-carotene supplementation on serum beta-carotene levels. They were randomized into beta-carotene (20 mg daily) and placebo groups. Serum beta-carotene levels were drawn at baseline, after two months and up to 12 weeks post-supplementation. There was a positive correlation with dietary beta-carotene which later disappeared, but a ten-fold increase in serum levels was found in the beta-carotene group which remained elevated at 12 weeks post-supplementation.
