Hayibor LA, et al. - Researchers assessed the risk of high blood pressure (HBP) in early adulthood in relation to binge drinking from adolescence to early adulthood. From waves I (1994–1995; ages 12–18) and IV (2007–2008; ages 24–32) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (n=5,114), they extracted publicly available, population-representative data and applied logistic regression to it. The purpose of doing this was to investigate if there was an association of past 12-month binge drinking in adolescence (wave I) and early adulthood (wave IV) with HBP in early adulthood following adjusting for covariates, including smoking and body mass index. According to the findings, an increased risk of HBP in early adulthood may be seen in relation to binge drinking in adolescence. This link was independent of other significant risk factors for HPB, such as smoking and obesity.
