摘要:
Objective To explore the associations between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption and obesity as well as obesity-related cardiometabolic disorders among children in China.Methods A total of 6974 (boys 3558,girls 3412) children aged 6-13 years participated in the study.Each partcipant's height,weight,waist circumference,fasting glucose,triglycerides,total cholesterol,highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol,and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were measured.The type of beverage consumption was determined using a self-administered questionnaire.Results SSBs were consumed regularly by 46.1% of the children.The prevalence [adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence internal (CI)] of obesity was 7.6% [as the reference group (ref.)],10.1% [1.36(1.07,1.74)],and 11.6% [1.46(1.21,1.75)],among children who regularly drank milk,other beverages and SSBs,respectively.Regularly drinking SSBs elevated the likelihood of abdominal obesity [adjusted odds ratio (95% CI):1.36 (1.17,1.59)].The prevalence [adjusted odds ratio (95% CI)] of obesity among children who regularly drank sports/caloric beverages,carbonated beverages,sweet tea,and plant protein beverages was 16.8% [2.00(1.31,3.07)],12.7% [1.52(1.23,1.88)],11.5% [1.52(1.18,1.95)],and 10.4% [1.41(1.03,1.94)],respectively,which was higher than that of regular milk drinkers [7.6 % (ref.)].The prevalence [adjusted odds ratio (95% CI)] of abdominal obesity among children who regularly drank sweet tea,fruit/vegetable juices,and carbonated beverages was 17.7% [1.55(1.26,1.90)],16.2%[1.36(1.09,1.70)],and 15.3% [1.24(1.03,1.50)],respectively,which was much higher than that of regular milk drinkers [12.8% (ref.)].Conclusions Regular SSB consumption was positively related to obesity and abdominal obesity.This relationship should be investigated further using a longitudinal study design.
