Association Between Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Intake and Mortality Risk in Women: The California Teachers Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The evidence linking sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake and mortality risk is conflicting, and associations between various SSB subtypes and mortality remain unclear.

Objective

To examine the association between baseline SSB intake, subtypes of SSB intake, and mortality risk in women.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Participants/setting

Participants of the California Teachers Study (n = 100,314; median age = 53 years) free of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes at baseline (1995-1996) were followed from 1995 to 2015. Baseline SSB intake was defined as caloric soft drinks (regular soft drinks, not diet soda), sweetened bottled waters or teas, and fruit drinks; and was derived from a self-administered food frequency questionnaire.
