Description
Chen Zhu and co-authors study whether drinking alcohol causes allergic illness in China, in work whose text is dated 2024. Allergy now affects a large share of people in China. Plain survey links can mislead, since drinkers and non-drinkers differ in many ways. The team used genes as a natural test of cause.
Survey and gene data came from just over three thousand people, gathered in late 2018 and 2019. Gene-based tests suggested that more drinking raised allergy risk in women. That held for both a drinker score and the count of drinks in the past month. No clear causal effect appeared in men.
