A new study has found that women who drink moderately at mid-life may gain less weight than those who stay away from alcohol. The study was published this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine [2].
Drinking alcohol is not typically recommended as a weight-loss regimen. But a team of researchers at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital found there may be a counter-intuitive connection between light drinking and weight gain among middle-aged women.
“Compared with nondrinkers, initially normal-weight women who consumed a light to moderate amount of alcohol gained less weight and had a lower risk of becoming overweight and/or obese,” according to a summary of the research.
The study looked at 19,220 healthy U.S. women aged 39 or older over about a 13 year period. They reported their drinking habits and body weight on an initial and eight annual followup questionnaires.
