The new research suggests that drinking high amounts of alcohol accelerates biological aging, while low levels of alcohol seem to have no effect.
The Oxford researchers studied genetic markers in the samples and asked the participants how much they drank to determine their alcohol consumption before comparing the lengths of their telomeres. The results suggest that low level alcohol consumption does not speed up biological aging.
There was no detectable additional damage to the DNA of those who consumed less than 17 units a week — where 20 units equals two 750ml bottles of wine at 13.5 percent alcohol content. This suggests “a necessary minimum amount of alcohol consumption is required to damage telomeres,” according to the authors.have also concluded that alcohol only begins to significantly damage health after a threshold is surpassed, rather than increasing uniformly with every drink consumed.
“Our results provide another piece of information for clinicians and patients seeking to reduce the harmful effects of excess alcohol,” saysIndividuals who had been diagnosed with an alcohol-use disorder showed between three and six additional years of age-related change compared to those who had not received that diagnosis. The increases in aging did not slow as alcohol intake increased.
Harmful use of alcohol is a causal factor in more than 200 disease and injury conditions, according to theResearchers are not entirely sure how alcohol accelerates aging as drinking has myriad negative effects on the body, from dehydration to neurological changes in the brain and damage to vital organs such as the liver.
