Abstract An increased abdominal fat mass is regarded as an independent cardiovascular risk factor. In this cross-sectional study of 1099 men we found a significant positive association between alcohol intake and the waist/hip (W/H) ratio, an index for the abdominal fat mass. This relationship was independent of age and body weight. The results suggest that the risk of abdominal fat deposition could be minimized by a reduction of alcohol intake.
