摘要：Central obesity is the accumulation of fat in the abdominal region, and is a marker
for Metabolic Syndrome. Since beer is a popular drink in Romania, we searched
for eventual connection between beer consumption and waist circumference
(WC). We carried out a transversal semi-quantitative study targeting the adult
population of Romania. The relations between WC, WHR (waist hip ratio) and
beer consumption were variable and non-linear. Regressions for WC and WHR
did not bring statistically significant coefficients, showing that there is no
significant link between beer consumption and WC or WHR. We could conclude
that beer ingestion by itself is not associated with a higher prevalence of
abdominal obesity.
