What people are saying

Discussions display a high level of interest and engagement as users cite significant studies like the NIH research from 2010 and the MACH15 trial, emphasizing the complex relationship between moderate drinking and longevity. The tone varies from skeptical to inquisitive, with some users highlighting previous findings while others question the nuances, reflecting the ongoing public debate on alcohol consumption and health outcomes.

AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions acknowledge the findings that moderate alcohol consumption may be linked to lower mortality risks, supported by references to prior large studies.

InterestHigh interest

Posters show strong curiosity about the research, mentioning other prominent studies and debating the nuances of alcohol's effects on longevity.

EngagementModerate engagement

Participants actively reference specific studies, like the NIH-funded research and the MACH15 trial, indicating thoughtful engagement and assessment of the evidence.

ImpactModerate impact

The discussions have the potential to influence opinions on alcohol and health, highlighting how this research fits into broader public health debates.

Abstract in brief

The study investigates the link between alcohol consumption and 20-year mortality among adults aged 55-65, finding that moderate drinkers tend to have lower mortality rates than abstainers and heavy drinkers, but this association may be influenced by confounding factors like health status and social behaviors.
Even after accounting for variables such as previous problem drinking, health problems, and sociodemographic factors, abstainers and heavy drinkers still showed higher mortality risks compared to moderate drinkers, suggesting the observed benefits of moderate drinking are not solely due to these confounders.
The results imply that the apparent survival advantage of moderate drinking might be partly explained by underlying factors, and caution is needed before attributing reduced mortality directly to moderate alcohol consumption in older adults.]

@laughingman6912 @erik_london @Lukewearechange @CountDankulaTV @Cernovich No, this is a NIH funded study in 2010: https://t.co/oj6DwREUVZ Maybe you're thinking of the NIAAA funded 2018 trial called MACH15? https://t.co/ACvDebF4AV

@Spinnangr Interessant, men vi har jo også store studier som viser at moderat inntak av alkohol er forbundet med økt levealder, som er er interessant fenomen: https://t.co/YmZMs90V0z https://t.co/Oi6mf3ZWH5
