Association between soft drink, fruit juice consumption and obesity in Eastern Europe: Cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis of the HAPIEE study

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics Sep 11, 2019

Garduño-Alanís A, Malyutina S, Pajak A, et al. - Since fruit juice and soft drink consumption have been shown to be linked to obesity—but this connection has not been investigated in Eastern Europe—researchers evaluated cross-sectional and longitudinal interactions between fruit juice, soft drink consumption, and BMI in Eastern European cohorts. Data from the Health, Alcohol and Psychosocial factors in Eastern Europe population-based prospective cohort study—based in Russia, Poland, and the Czech Republic—were collected and analyzed, and intakes of sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB), artificially-sweetened beverage (ASB), and fruit juice were estimated via food frequency questionnaire. Participant BMI values were assessed at baseline and after a 3-year follow-up period. According to findings, soft drink consumption was generally low, especially in Russia. Furthermore, the results from this study supported findings from previous investigations in which researchers suggested a positive correlation between soft drink consumption and BMI. However, data on fruit juice were not as consistent. The investigators suggested that, in Eastern Europe, policies on beverages should be considered to lower the risk of obesity.
