Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption linked to kidney disease risk: Study
If
you love indulging in fruit
drinks or soda, you might want to have a look at this. Higher
collective consumption of sweetened fruit drinks, soda, and water is associated
with a higher likelihood of developing chronic
kidney disease (CKD), a recent study suggests.
As
part of the study, researchers studied 3003 African-American men and women with
normal kidney function. The investigators further assessed beverage intake
through a food frequency questionnaire administered at the start of the study
in 2000-04, and they followed participants until 2009-13.
Among
the 3003 participants, 185 (6%) developed CKD over a median follow-up of 8
years. After adjustment for confounding factors, consuming a beverage pattern
consisting of soda, sweetened fruit drinks, and water was associated with a
higher risk of developing CKD. Participants in the top tertile for consumption
of this beverage pattern were 61% more likely to develop CKD than those in the
bottom tertile. Read
