We read with great interest the study by Niezen and colleagues (1) investigating the relationship between alcohol consumption and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) values in 4509 participants of the NHANES study (2017-2018). Patients were categorized according to the amount and frequency of alcohol consumption per week. Following multivariable linear regression analysis using CAP as a continuous parameter, the authors highlight two findings: Only the group drinking 5 and more drinks 5-7 times per week was associated with significantly higher CAP values.

给 Niezen 和同事的信

我们非常感兴趣地阅读了 Niezen 及其同事的研究 (1)，该研究调查了 NHANES 研究 (2017-2018) 的 4509 名参与者的饮酒量与受控衰减参数 (CAP) 值之间的关系。根据每周饮酒量和频率对患者进行分类。在使用 CAP 作为连续参数进行多变量线性回归分析之后，作者强调了两个发现：只有每周饮酒 5 次及以上 5-7 次的组与显着更高的 CAP 值相关。
