Fox News
Older adults who drink moderate amounts of alcohol may have a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and a lower risk of mortality from all causes, compared to those who do not drink, according to a study published last month in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.
"Modest alcohol intake in this group of healthy older adults was not harmful for CVD or overall mortality," Dr. Johannes Neumann, who led the team of researchers from Monash University School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, in Australia, said in a release. The lead author of the study also said, "Further research is warranted to evaluate causal biological effects of alcohol on health and possible behavioral advantages of social drinking and engagement," according to the release.
According to a news release, it is the first study to explore the association of alcohol consumption on heart health and mortality, from all causes, in initially older healthy adults.
