What is the relationship between light-to-moderate alcohol consumption and risk of stroke among U.S. male physicians?
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1999 found that light-to-moderate alcohol consumption was associated with a lower risk of stroke among U.S. male physicians. Another study published in Circulation in 2008 found that a healthy lifestyle was associated with a lower risk of stroke. Other studies have also found an association between light-to-moderate alcohol consumption and a lower risk of stroke, including studies published in the American Journal of Cardiology in 2004, Stroke in 2006, and JAMA in 1999.
