[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 8CR0x3ty. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The dose response to alcohol use of carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and their combination (y-CDT) was studied in an age-and gender-stratified, random sample from Finland in 1997. A linear association with a threshold between alcohol consumption and the three markers was observed. Body mass index was negatively associated with CDT and positively with GGT. Age was positively associated with GGT and gamma-CDT. In conclusion, CDT appears to be an early phase marker of alcohol consumption. The combined marker, gamma-CDT, was less associated with factors such as body mass index but more strongly correlated with alcohol consumption than were the two markers separately.
