Abstract

Objectives: To assess the association between binge drinking and asthma risk across demographic and socioeconomic groups.

Methods: A retrospective analysis using the 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) database. Binge drinking status was the exposure variable, and asthma diagnosis was the outcome. Socioeconomic and demographic characteristics were included as covariates. Cross-tabulations, chi-squared tests, and Fisher's exact tests were conducted, results reported as odds ratios (ORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (CIs).

Results: Binge drinkers had a 5.2 % lower asthma risk (OR: 0.948, 95 % CI: 0.9245-0.9722). The greatest risk reduction was in ages 45-64 (26.8 %), while ages 18-24 had a 14.3 % increased risk (OR: 1.143). Men had 4.4 % higher asthma risk, while women had 1.1 % lower risk. Black and Hispanic binge drinkers had 8.1 and 2.3 % higher risk, while white binge drinkers had 8.4 % lower risk. Higher-income and education were linked to lower asthma risk.

Conclusions: Binge drinking is associated with lower asthma risk in older adults and women but higher risk in young adults and men. Further research is needed to explore mechanisms.

一项回顾性观察性研究，评估自我报告的酗酒者与哮喘之间的关系。

目的：评估不同人口统计学和社会经济群体中酗酒与哮喘风险之间的关系。方法：采用2022年行为风险因素监测系统（BRFSS）数据库进行回顾性分析。酗酒状态是暴露变量，哮喘诊断是结果。包括社会经济和人口统计学特征作为协变量。进行交叉表、卡方检验和Fisher精确检验，结果报告为优势比（ORs）和95% %置信区间（ci）。结果：酗酒者哮喘风险降低5.2 % （OR: 0.948, 95 % CI: 0.9245-0.9722）。风险降低最大的是45-64岁（26.8% %），而18-24岁的风险增加14.3% % （OR: 1.143）。男性患哮喘的风险高4.4 %，而女性低1.1 %。黑人和西班牙裔酗酒者的风险增加了8.1和2.3 %，而白人酗酒者的风险降低了8.4 %。较高的收入和教育水平与较低的哮喘风险有关。结论：酗酒与老年人和女性较低的哮喘风险相关，但与年轻人和男性较高的风险相关。需要进一步的研究来探索其机制。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Basic and Clinical Physiology and Pharmacology (JBCPP) is a peer-reviewed bi-monthly published journal in experimental medicine. JBCPP publishes novel research in the physiological and pharmacological sciences, including brain research; cardiovascular-pulmonary interactions; exercise; thermal control; haematology; immune response; inflammation; metabolism; oxidative stress; and phytotherapy. As the borders between physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry become increasingly blurred, we also welcome papers using cutting-edge techniques in cellular and/or molecular biology to link descriptive or behavioral studies with cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the integrative processes. Topics: Behavior and Neuroprotection, Reproduction, Genotoxicity and Cytotoxicity, Vascular Conditions, Cardiovascular Function, Cardiovascular-Pulmonary Interactions, Oxidative Stress, Metabolism, Immune Response, Hematological Profile, Inflammation, Infection, Phytotherapy.
