ABSTRACT
AIMS:
To compare Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT C) to phosphatidylethanol (PEth) in middle-aged randomly selected volunteers. Apply previously suggested lower cut-offs for PEth using moderate alcohol intake according to AUDIT C as a reference.METHODS:
Within the Swedish CardioPulmonary BioImage Study, 2255 middle-aged (50-64 years of age) volunteers in northern Sweden participated in comparing AUDIT C to PEth 160/181.RESULTS:
There was a moderate correlation between PEth 160/181 and AUDIT C (r = 0.66). None of the participants with the AUDIT C-score 0 had a measurable PEth. Of moderate alcohol consumers, according to AUDIT C (AUDIT C 1-3 women, 1-4 men), 96% had a PEth below 0.3 µmol/L, 91% had a PEth below 0.16 µmol/L, and 84% had a PEth below 0.11 µmol/L. With PEth equivalent to excessive alcohol consumption (≥0.3 µmol/L), 26% had an AUDIT C-score below excessive alcohol consumption (<4 for women and <5 for men). Thirty percent of patients with a PEth ≥0.16 µmol/L had an AUDIT C-score below excessive alcohol consumption, and 37% had a PEth ≥0.11 µmol/L. We found no significant correlation between BMI and PEth or AUDIT C.CONCLUSIONS:
There is a significant correlation between AUDIT C and PEth. Using AUDIT C alone, 26% of high-consumers, according to PEth, are not found in our cohort, but an AUDIT C-score of 0 will exclude high consumption, according to PEth. Our findings support the current cut-off for PEth of 0.3 µmol/L, but a lower cut-off seems reasonable.Palavras-chave
