    Summary

    Alcohol consumption significantly impacts intestinal health, leading to severe enzymatic disorders and increased duodenal atrophy in chronic enterocolitis patients. These findings highlight the detrimental effects of alcohol on digestive function.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Nutrition
    • Toxicology

    Context:

    • Investigated 107 patients with chronic enterocolitis.
    • Classified patients into three groups based on alcohol consumption: alcoholics, heavy drinkers, and non-drinkers.
    • Examined the relationship between alcohol intake, intestinal function, and duodenal morphology.

    Purpose:

    • To assess the impact of alcohol consumption on intestinal enzymatic activity and parietal digestion in patients with chronic enterocolitis.
    • To determine the correlation between alcohol habits and the prevalence of atrophic duodenal changes.
    • To explore potential links between living conditions, geographic area, and enterocolitis morbidity in the Yakut Republic.

    Summary:

    • Severe disruptions in intestinal enzymatic activity, including suppressed amylolytic, proteolytic, and lactase activity, were observed in patients with chronic enterocolitis.
    • A significantly higher incidence of atrophic duodenal changes was found in patients with higher alcohol consumption compared to non-drinkers.
    • A positive correlation was identified between enterocolitis morbidity and living conditions within specific climatic-geographic areas of the Yakut Republic.

    Impact:

    • Provides critical insights into the gastrointestinal complications associated with alcohol abuse.
    • Highlights the need for targeted interventions and lifestyle modifications for patients with chronic enterocolitis and alcohol consumption patterns.
    • Underscores the influence of environmental and lifestyle factors on digestive health in specific populations.
