YES
To test whether notification of the rs671 polymorphism of the aldehyde dehydrogenase gene (ALDH2) can promote behavioral changes in lifestyle habits. This will demonstrate the usefulness of ALDH2 rs671 polymorphism determination and provide evidence for dissemination and implementation of the testing.
Efficacy
Frequency of drinking, amount of drinking, frequency of heavy drinking, stages of behavioral modification, perceptions of drinking habits, and stress coping

A genotype-disclosure intervention for rs671 showed a non-significant decreasing trend in occasional alcohol consumption in the variant group (p = 0.157). In the disclosure arm, sex- and age-adjusted geometric means changed from 3.4 to 3.9 drinks (wild type) and from 2.1 to 1.9 drinks (variant). In the non-disclosure arm, wild type changed from 2.6 to 1.7 drinks and variant from 3.5 to 3.2 drinks. Presented at the 95th Annual Meeting of the Japan Society of Public Health (2025).

Results were similar to previous studies and no significant differences were observed. This may be attributable to the study being conducted at health screening facilities with many participants having favorable baseline lifestyle habits, occupational homogeneity, and an insufficient sample size. Participant recruitment and data collection are ongoing, so publication of the final results is expected to be delayed.
We investigated the effect of awareness of the rs671 polymorphism on lifestyle behaviors and health-related perceptions by leveraging health-check opportunities in medical facilities, workplaces, and communities. The study was conducted at a health screening center in Saga Prefecture from 2023 to 2024 and enrolled 107 participants. The protocol was approved by the Saga University Ethics Committee (R4-30, R5-15).
