Moderate drinking helps prevent arthritis

A new issue of the British Medical Journal published a report that researchers from institutions such as the Caroline School of Medicine in Sweden surveyed the health data of more than 30,000 women. They were born between 1914 and 1948 and have undergone long-term follow-up surveys. Some of them have been tracked until 2009.

The analysis showed that those who drank more than 3 cups per week had a 52% lower risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis compared to non-drinkers; those drinking more than 4 cups per week had less than 1 cup of alcohol per week. The risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis is also 37% lower. The definition of a glass of wine here is equivalent to containing 15 grams of alcohol, and it has been calculated for various situations such as drinking red wine and beer. These different types of alcohol have similar effects in preventing arthritis.

Researchers say that arthritis is caused by the immune system's mistaken attack on healthy tissues in the joints, and alcohol can suppress this effect of the immune system, so drinking alcohol helps prevent arthritis.

For this role of alcohol, research has been gradually revealed in recent years. For example, researchers from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, reported in the “Journal of the National Academy of Sciences” in the United States in 2006 that if rats were allowed to ingest small amounts of alcohol each day, they could significantly reduce their risk. The risk of rheumatoid arthritis; in 2010, researchers at the University of Sheffield in the UK also reported in the Journal of Rheumatology that investigations into some arthritis patients have shown that drinking can reduce their arthritis symptoms.

However, the researchers also emphasized that drinking can help prevent arthritis and can not be used as an excuse for alcohol abuse, because studies have shown that drinking can lead to a variety of health risks. Only moderate drinking can use alcohol to avoid disadvantages.
