Abstract
Background: Higher consumption of sugary beverages (SB) has been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but whether these associations are modified by physical activity remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the associations of SB intake, including sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB), artificially sweetened beverages (ASB), and natural juices (NJ) with the risk of incident T2D, and the potential role of physical activity.
Methods: We included 153,862 diabetes-free participants in the UK Biobank who completed both the International Physical Activity Questionnaire at recruitment (2006-2010) and at least one 24-h dietary recall questionnaire in 2009-2012. We assessed the associations of each SB with the risk of incident T2D using Cox proportional hazard models, and explored the interactions between each SB and physical activity.
Results: During a median follow-up of 11.8 years, 6631 participants developed incident T2D. Participants consuming more SSB and ASB (comparing > 2 to 0 unit/d) had a higher hazard of T2D (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.17, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05-1.31 for SSB; 1.54, 1.37-1.74 for ASB), while medium intake of NJ showed an inverse association (HR> 0-1 vs. 0 unit/d: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.82-0.92; HR> 1-2 vs. 0 unit/d: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.81-0.97) with incident T2D. No significant interactions between physical activity and SSB/ASB were found (P-interaction=0.204 for SSB, 0.926 for ASB), but the protective association of medium NJ intake with T2D was stronger among participants with higher level of physical activity (P-interaction = 0.043).
Conclusions: Higher intake of SSB and ASB was related to higher risks of T2D. Medium NJ intake was associated with a lower risk of T2D, particularly among individuals with higher physical activity level. These findings emphasized the importance of healthy beverage intake and adequate physical activity in diabetes prevention.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition Journal publishes surveillance, epidemiologic, and intervention research that sheds light on i) influences (e.g., familial, environmental) on eating patterns; ii) associations between eating patterns and health, and iii) strategies to improve eating patterns among populations. The journal also welcomes manuscripts reporting on the psychometric properties (e.g., validity, reliability) and feasibility of methods (e.g., for assessing dietary intake) for human nutrition research. In addition, study protocols for controlled trials and cohort studies, with an emphasis on methods for assessing dietary exposures and outcomes as well as intervention components, will be considered.
Manuscripts that consider eating patterns holistically, as opposed to solely reductionist approaches that focus on specific dietary components in isolation, are encouraged. Also encouraged are papers that take a holistic or systems perspective in attempting to understand possible compensatory and differential effects of nutrition interventions. The journal does not consider animal studies.
In addition to the influence of eating patterns for human health, we also invite research providing insights into the environmental sustainability of dietary practices. Again, a holistic perspective is encouraged, for example, through the consideration of how eating patterns might maximize both human and planetary health.
