Abstract

Background: Dietary sugar intake has been implicated in the development of metabolic dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and immune dysfunction, contributing to the pathogenesis of various diseases. This study aimed to investigate the associations between dietary total simple sugar intake and glycemic markers, lipid profile, serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and adenosine deaminase activity (ADA), among semi-professional football players.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 108 semi-professional football players. Dietary intake of simple sugars was assessed using validated dietary assessment tools, while serum levels of biochemical variables were measured using standard laboratory assays. Multinomial logistic regression analysis and partial correlation analysis were performed to examine the associations between dietary simple sugars and serum biomarkers, adjusting for confounders.

Results: Strong positive associations were observed between dietary total simple sugar intake and hs-CRP and ADA levels in multinomial regression analysis. Also, among individual assessment of dietary simple sugars, dietary fructose and glucose intake were positively correlated with serum hs-CRP levels (r = 0.484, P < 0.001 and r = 0.393, P < 0.001, respectively) and serum ADA levels (r = 0.233, P = 0.001 for glucose; r = 0.188, P = 0.01 for fructose). There was no other association between dietary simple sugar intake and metabolic parameters.

Conclusion: Our findings highlight the significant impact of dietary sugar intake on inflammation, as reflected by serum hs-CRP and ADA levels. Strategies aimed at reducing sugar consumption may help mitigate inflammation and improve overall health outcomes. Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and to explore potential therapeutic interventions targeting dietary sugar intake for the prevention and management of chronic diseases.

半职业足球运动员的饮食单糖摄入量、代谢指标、炎症标志物和损伤。

背景：膳食糖的摄入与代谢功能障碍、慢性炎症和免疫功能障碍的发生有关，与多种疾病的发病机制有关。本研究旨在调查半职业足球运动员饮食中总单糖摄入量与血糖指标、血脂、血清高敏c反应蛋白（hs-CRP）水平和腺苷脱氨酶活性（ADA）之间的关系。方法：对108名半职业足球运动员进行横断面调查。使用经过验证的饮食评估工具评估膳食中单糖的摄入量，同时使用标准实验室分析测量血清生化变量水平。采用多项逻辑回归分析和偏相关分析来检验饮食单糖和血清生物标志物之间的相关性，并对混杂因素进行调整。结果：多项回归分析显示，膳食总单糖摄入量与hs-CRP和ADA水平呈正相关。此外，在膳食单糖的个体评估中，膳食果糖和葡萄糖摄入量与血清hs-CRP水平（r = 0.484, P < 0.001和r = 0.393, P < 0.001）和血清ADA水平（r = 0.233, P = 0.001）呈正相关；r = 0.188, P = 0.01)。饮食中单糖摄入量与代谢参数之间没有其他关联。结论：我们的研究结果强调了饮食糖摄入量对炎症的显著影响，这反映在血清hs-CRP和ADA水平上。旨在减少糖消耗的策略可能有助于减轻炎症并改善整体健康状况。需要进一步的研究来阐明潜在的机制，并探索针对饮食糖摄入的潜在治疗干预措施，以预防和管理慢性疾病。

期刊介绍： Food & Nutrition Research is a peer-reviewed journal that presents the latest scientific research in various fields focusing on human nutrition. The journal publishes both quantitative and qualitative research papers. Through an Open Access publishing model, Food & Nutrition Research opens an important forum for researchers from academic and private arenas to exchange the latest results from research on human nutrition in a broad sense, both original papers and reviews, including: * Associations and effects of foods and nutrients on health * Dietary patterns and health * Molecular nutrition * Health claims on foods * Nutrition and cognitive functions * Nutritional effects of food composition and processing * Nutrition in developing countries * Animal and in vitro models with clear relevance for human nutrition * Nutrition and the Environment * Food and Nutrition Education * Nutrition and Economics Research papers on food chemistry (focus on chemical composition and analysis of foods) are generally not considered eligible, unless the results have a clear impact on human nutrition. The journal focuses on the different aspects of nutrition for people involved in nutrition research such as Dentists, Dieticians, Medical doctors, Nutritionists, Teachers, Journalists and Manufacturers in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
