Sugar-sweetened or artificially sweetened beverage consumption, physical activity and risk of type 2 diabetes in US adults.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

A positive association between sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and diabetes risk has been shown, with inconsistent evidence between artificially sweetened beverages (ASBs) and diabetes. Moreover, it is uncertain if physical activity can mitigate the negative effects of these beverages on diabetes development. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the independent and joint associations between SSB or ASB consumption and physical activity on the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Methods

We followed 64,029 women in the Nurses' Health Study (1980-2016), 88,340 women in the Nurses' Health Study II (1991-2017) and 39,436 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1986-2016). SSB and ASB consumption was calculated from food-frequency questionnaires administered every 4 year
