Influence of total sugar intake on metabolic blood markers at 8 years of age in the Childhood Obesity Project.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

We aimed to characterize the association of dietary sugar intake with blood lipids and glucose-related markers in childhood.

Methods

Data from the multicentric European Childhood Obesity Project Trial were used. Three-day weighed dietary records were obtained at 8 years of age along with serum concentrations of triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), glucose, and insulin. Total sugar intake comprised all mono- and disaccharides; different sugar sources were defined. Linear regression models were applied to investigate the cross-sectional association of total sugar intake with blood lipids and glucose-related markers with adjustment for total energy intake using the residual method.
