title: [Alcoholism, colic diverticular disease and metabolic disorders (author's transl)].
abstract: 70 patients with colic diverticular disease and 50 control subjects were compared. Sexes and ages were matched in the two groups. Significant higher frequencies of alcoholism (P < 0,00001), hyperlipidemia (P < 0,0001), impaired oral glucose tolerance test (P < 0,001), hyperuricemia (P < 0,01) and atherosclerosis (P < 0,000001) were noted in the diverticular group. Hypothesis about pathogenesis of diverticular disease are suggested.
