Using doubly labeled water to validate associations between sugar-sweetened beverage intake and body mass among White and African-American adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence is mixed regarding sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake and adiposity among adults, perhaps because of reporting bias.

Objective

The objective of this study is to determine the impact of reporting bias on any associations between increased SSB intake and overweight/obesity.

Design

Beverage intake and overweight/obese status (body mass index ≥ 25 kg m(-2)) were examined among adults from a dietary assessment and doubly labeled water study (n=250). Four web-based, 24-h recalls assessed dietary intake. SSB intake was categorized as no intake, 1-99 kcals per day and >99 kcals per day. Logistic regression models adjusted for total caloric intake, age, race, education and diet quality compared SSB intake with overweight/obese status. To investigate diet
