| Abstract (English): | Background: Discrepant results regarding the association between alcohol consumption and metabolic syndrome may be partly attributable to the different selection of the reference group. Methods: Data from a representative sample of 6,432 Korean adults in 2008 were analyzed. Results: Using lifetime abstainers as the reference group, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among men was increased in ex-drinkers [[3.15 (1.69-5.89)]], responsible drinking [[0.1-39.9 g/day; 1.77 (1.0-3.13)]], and hazardous drinking [[≥40 g/day; 2.06 (1.05-4.07)]]. Conclusions: Alcohol consumption in men, but not in women, is associated with a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Méthodes: Les données à partir d'un échantillon représentatif de 6432 adultes coréens en 2008 ont été analysées. Résultats: En utilisant abstinents à vie comme groupe de référence, la prévalence du syndrome métabolique parmi les hommes a augmenté chez les ex-buveurs [[3,15 (de 1,69 à 5,89)]], la consommation responsable [[de 0,1 à 39,9 g / jour; 1,77 (1,0 à 3,13)]], et la consommation dangereuse [[≥40g/day; 2,06 (1,05 à 4,07)]].
