Association of sugar intake from different sources with cardiovascular disease incidence in the prospective cohort of UK Biobank participants.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relation between incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) and sugar might not only depend on the quantity consumed but also on its source. This study aims to assess the association between various sources of dietary sugars and CVD incidence in the prospective population-based UK Biobank cohort.

Methods

A total of 176,352 participants from the UK Biobank with at least one web-based dietary questionnaire (Oxford WebQ) for assessment of sugar intake were included in this study. Mean follow-up lasted 10.9 years (standard deviation 2.0), with 12,355 incident cases of CVD. To determine the association of free sugar (FS) and intrinsic sugar intake with incident CVD, hazard ratios (HR) were calculated using Cox proportional hazard regression models.
