Dietary Salt Intake, Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption, and Obesity Risk

چکیده
OBJECTIVE: To determine the association among dietary salt, fluid, and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption and weight status in a nationally representative sample of Australian children aged 2 to 16 years. METHODS: Cross-sectional data from the 2007 Australian National Children’s Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey. Consumption of dietary salt, fluid, and SSB was determined via two 24-hour dietary recalls. BMI was calculated from recorded height and weight. Regression analysis was used to assess the association between salt, fluid, SSB consumption, and weight status. RESULTS: Of the 4283 participants, 62% reported consuming SSBs. Older children and those of lower socioeconomic status (SES) were more likely to consume SSBs (both Ps , .001). Dietary salt intake was positively associated with fluid consumption (r = 0.42, P , .001); each additional 1 g/d of salt was associated with a 46 g/d greater intake of fluid, adjusted for age, gender, BMI, and SES (P , .001). In those consuming SSBs (n = 2571), salt intake was positively associated with SSB consumption (r = 0.35, P , .001); each additional 1 g/d of salt was associated with a 17 g/d greater intake of SSB, adjusted for age, gender, SES, and energy (P , .001). Participants who consumed more than 1 serving ($250 g) of SSB were 26% more likely to be overweight/obese (odds ratio: 1.26, 95% confidence interval: 1.03–1.53). CONCLUSIONS: Dietary salt intake predicted total fluid consumption and SSB consumption within consumers of SSBs. Furthermore, SSB consumption was associated with obesity risk. In addition to the known benefits of lowering blood pressure, salt reduction strategies may be useful in childhood obesity prevention efforts. Pediatrics 2013;131:14–21 AUTHORS: Carley A.

متن کاملSalt intake is related to soft drink consumption in children and adolescents: a link to obesity?
Dietary salt is a major determinant of fluid intake in adults; however, little is known about this relationship in children. Sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption is related to childhood obesity, but it is unclear whether there is a link between salt and sugar-sweetened soft drink consumption. We analyzed the data of a cross-sectional study, the National Diet and Nutrition Survey for young peo...
متن کاملDietary fructose and elevated levels of blood pressure.
Hypertension is a multifactorial disease in which both genetic and environmental factors play a role in the slope of changing BP with increasing age.1 Most health care providers and patients alike are aware of the relationship between increasing dietary salt and BP. There is also evidence this relationship may be modified by increasing dietary potassium consumption.2,3 Moreover, more recent dat...
متن کاملSubstitution Patterns Can Limit the Effects of Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Taxes on Obesity
Dramatic increases in obesity and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption over the past several decades have become major public health and clinical concerns. Obesity rates tripled in 30 years, and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among children more than doubled in the last 2 decades of the twentieth century (1). Many children drink more sugar-sweetened beverages than milk, and sugar-sweetene...
متن کاملHigh salt intake: independent risk factor for obesity?
High salt intake is the major cause of raised blood pressure and accordingly leads to cardiovascular diseases. Recently, it has been shown that high salt intake is associated with an increased risk of obesity through sugar-sweetened beverage consumption. Increasing evidence also suggests a direct link. Our study aimed to determine whether there was a direct association between salt intake and o...
