Heavy Drinking Could Be Jeopardizing Your Muscles — According to a new study b |
New research from the University of East Anglia has shown that heavy drinkers, particularly those in their 50s and 60s consuming around 10 units a day, may risk muscle loss and frailty in later life. The study, which considered factors such as body size, protein consumption, and physical activity, found that higher alcohol consumption was associated with lower muscle mass, further highlighting the potential harm of excessive drinking on muscle health during middle and early older age.
The team says that their findings, mainly in people in their 50s and 60s, suggest another reason to cut back on booze. The team studied data from the UK Biobank – a large-scale database of anonymized lifestyle and health information from half a million people in the UK. They looked at data for nearly 200,000 people aged between 37 and 73 years.
“We saw that it really became a problem when people were drinking 10 or more units a day – which is the equivalent of about a bottle of wine or four or five pints. Alcohol consumption and muscle mass were measured cross-sectionally – in people at the same time – so we can’t be sure of a causal link,” she added.
