| Abstract: | The effects of possible confounding factors on endogenous breath acetaldehyde levels were examined in alcoholic and non-alcoholic subjects. Demographic characteristics, family history for alcoholism, smoking and drinking history, and breath acetaldehyde levels were assessed. Differences in endogenous breath acetaldehyde levels could not be attributed to age, sex, or having a family history positive for alcoholism. Individuals who smoke or abuse alcohol had higher endogenous breath acetaldehyde levels than persons who did not. |
