Moderate’ drinking might harm your heart if you’re a senior citizen, a new study suggests.

And women appear to be at greater risk for alcohol-related heart damage than men, the researchers found.

“In an elderly population, increasing alcohol intake is associated with subtle alterations in heart structure and function, with women appearing more susceptible than men to the toxic effects of alcohol,” said lead researcher Dr. Alexandra Goncalves.

She is a postdoctoral research fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.

The study involved more than 4,400 adults, average age 76. The investigators found that women who drank even moderately — one drink daily — experienced a small reduction in heart function.

Among men, consuming more than 14 drinks a week — considered heavy drinking — was linked to enlargement of the heart’s left ventricle wall, the researchers said.

However, the association seen in the study does not prove a cause-and-effect link.

And one heart expert questioned the findings, given that other research has touted the benefits of some alcohol consumption for adults.

“While heavy consumption of alcohol can result in heart disease and heart failure, a number of studies have suggested that light to moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk of heart attacks and strokes compared to non-drinkers,” said Dr. Gregg Fonarow, a professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The findings of this new study — linking moderate alcohol consumption to structural changes in the heart — contradict the results of other research, he said.

“Thus, any clinical significance of these findings is unclear at the present time,” said Fonarow, who was not involved in the study.

The American Heart Association recommends that those who drink alcohol do so in moderation. This means an average of one to two drinks a day for men and one drink daily for women.

The association cautions against starting to drink alcohol for potential heart benefits.

A “drink” is the equivalent of one 12-ounce beer, 4 ounces of wine, 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits, or 1 ounce of 100-proof spirits, Fonarow said.

THE Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, on Wednesday fired what seemed to be another salvo at the state Governor-elect, Chief Nyesom Wike, ahead of the Friday’s inauguration.

Amaechi, who declared that he would not forgive or settle the feud between him and Wike, unless justice was seen to have been done, had on Tuesday accused the governor-elect of being behind the deaths recorded in the state during the general elections. Wike had denied the allegation.

The governor made this declaration during his 50th birthday thanksgiving service at the Corpus Christi Cathedral in Port Harcourt, while reacting to the plea by the Catholic Bishop of Port Harcourt Diocese, Most Rev. Dr. Camillus Etokudoh, that both politicians (Amaechi and Wike) should reconcile their differences in the interest of the people.

Amaechi, who agreed that the views of the bishop in a Catholic church should not be opposed, maintained that justice must come before forgiveness, adding that those that were killed during the general elections and their families must get justice.

Amaechi expressed surprise that the bishop congratulated Wike on his victory during the governorship election in the state, even as he called on the church to join the All Progressives Congress in praying that the party reclaimed its mandate.

He pointed out that the mandate of the APC in the state must be reclaimed at the election petition tribunal before any reconciliation could be embraced.

“My Lordship talked about forgiveness. In the Catholic Church you don’t oppose the views of your bishop. His words represent an order. If you oppose him you may be barred from taking Holy Communion.

“You are not a true Catholic if you don’t receive the Holy Communion. But Your Lordship, the same Catholic doctrine also states that justice comes before forgiveness.

“All those that were killed during the last general elections must get justice. Their families must get justice. Our party, the All Progressives Congress, must get justice first at the petition election tribunal. Our mandate must be retrieved at the tribunal.

“I am surprised that My Lordship congratulated Nyesom Wike here today. I am using this opportunity to call on the Church to join the APC in praying to God so that we can reclaim our mandate.

“Reclaiming our mandate at the election petition tribunal will represent a measure of justice. We must seek justice before reconciliation,” the governor stressed.

Amaechi, however, said that he was shocked by some of the people that betrayed him, adding that God will forgive them at the appropriate time.

He thanked members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, who, according to him, supported him without getting money from him.

“I was shocked by some of the people that betrayed me. At the appropriate time, God will forgive them. Let me use this opportunity to thank members of the Rivers State House of Assembly for their support all through the crisis. I did not give them money to stand by me. I commend them for their sacrifice,” he said.

He explained that the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Mrs. Gesila Khan, had not given the APC the voter register, which the Independent National Electoral Commission used in conducting the last general elections in the state.

Earlier, the Catholic Bishop, Etokudoh, had congratulated Wike for his electoral victory and urged him and Amaechi to settle their differences.

“As for the outgoing governor and the incoming governor, I urge them to work together so that there will be peace. We need peace in Rivers State.

“There can be no reconciliation without forgiveness. There will be no peace without reconciliation. So, it is time for the outgoing governor and the incoming governor to reconcile so that peace will return to Rivers State. No matter their differences, they should reconcile in the interest of peace,” Bishop Etokudoh, who was delivering a sermon at the event, added.

The cleric described Amaechi as a courageous person, adding that the governor had touched many lives in the eight years that he was the chief executive of the state.

Etokudoh, however, stated that though Amaechi performed creditably as a governor, some people still prefer to begrudge him.

Among those at the occasion are Edo State Governor, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun; a former governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi; a former Governor of Rivers State, Chief Rufus Ada-George; a former Transport Minister, Alabo Graham-Douglas; and Kaduna State Governor-elect, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai.

Something about being a critic is that you will never see 'good' in what others do or achieve because you always want to analyse the other person's achievement from your 'critical' state of mind.

I think its a terrible way of life!

The man has said that he trekked from Lagos to Abuja, what's so hard in celebrating him instead of all these critical analysis of the number of trekkable hours and km.

Critics don't get any award....be there, analysing while I join other Nigerians to celebrate an achiever!

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday told Nigerians, especially electorates from Abia State, that he did not want those who will be antagonising his lofty programmes as members of the National Assembly from May 29.

The President said the people should vote for Peoples Democratic Party candidates that will cooperate with him at the National Assembly.

Jonathan spoke at the Aba Sports Club in Abia State while addressing PDP stakeholders from the state.

He said, “I want you not only to vote for me but also to give me PDP candidates as members of the National Assembly.

“This is because I want those that will cooperate with me, not National Assembly members that will be antagonising Federal Government’s efforts.

“Those ones, every good thing you want to do, they will play politics with it.

“So, I appeal with you to return all PDP members who are contesting; that will help me. It will help budgeting.”

Jonathan said the South-East had remained his strongest support base since he ventured into national politics, saying his campaign office was in 2011 bombed in South-South where he hails from.

He promised that if re-elected on Saturday, he would meet many of the demands that were presented before him during the meeting.

Jonathan said the government was looking at the negative impact of the recent naira devaluation on importers promising that the issue would be sorted out soon.

The Independent National Electoral Commission on Tuesday said it had accredited 107 domestic and international observers to monitor the   general elections slated for March 28 and April 11, 2015.

Among the accredited observers are embassies of 11 foreign nations of the United States of America, Switzerland, Britain, Germany, France, Japan, Canada, Ireland, Australia, Ghana and the Republic of Korea.

This is contained in a CD labelled ‘2015 General Elections Observers Information Pack’ which the commission included as part of the package it presented to accredited journalists to cover the polls.

The commission listed 14 international and regional organisations as part of the accredited observers. The remaining 82 observers are domestic groups.

Among the international organisations are International Foundation for Electoral Systems; UN Women; International Republican Institute; Africa Students Association of Ireland; National Democratic Institute for International Affairs; UNDP/DGD Project; Centre for Conflict Management, Kennesaw State University, Atlanta Georgia, USA; Commonwealth Observers Mission; and Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, Kenya.

The rest of the international organisations are Oxford Department of International Development, University of Oxford; European Union Delegation to Nigeria; ECOWAS Mission; European Union and Election Observation Mission.

Among the 82 domestic observers are, New Partnership for Africa’s Development, Centre for Strategic Conflict Management; Global Agenda for Total Emancipation; Citizens Right and Leadership Awareness Initiative; Justice Development and Peace Commission (Catholic Caritas Foundation of Nigeria); Fundamental Rights League International ; Police Service Commission; Centre for Grassroot Development and Crime Prevention; and Centre for Civic Education (aka Transition Monitoring Group)

They also include Centre for Policy Advocacy and Leadership Development; Election Monitor; Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution; Society for Equity, Justice and peace; Justice & Equity Organisation; Cleen Foundation; and West African Network of Election Observers.

Also contained in the INEC’s guidline CD are, the soft copy of the Electoral Act, Summary of Polling Units and Voting Points nationwide, Directory of Polling Units Revised Draft, 2015 Info Kit.
