Influence of regular alcohol consumption on uricaemia in unselected healthy individuals.
We analysed serum uric acid concentrations in a group of healthy male and female volunteers in Córdoba (Spain) possessing varying nutritional habits, in order to correlate them with their usual alcohol intake as measured according to a protocolized, blind dietary questionnaire. There was no significant correlation between the serum uric acid and the amount of alcohol regularly drunk by either male or female individuals. These results suggest that a moderate alcohol intake has no effect on uricaemia in healthy individuals.
