Added Sugar Consumption and HDL in Adolescent Girls: A Longitudinal Analysis Pubblico
Lee, Alexandra Kathryn (2013)
Abstract
Background: Added sugar consumption has been linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia. In the United States, added sugar consumption is highest among adolescents, accounting for over 22% of daily calories in the year 2000.
Objective: To determine if added sugar consumption is associated with change in HDL among adolescent girls, and whether race or obesity modify this relationship.
Methods and Participants: The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's Growth and Health Study (NGHS) was a 10-year cohort study that recruited 2,379 9 and 10 year old girls in 1987 and 1988. Participants completed a three-day food record annually and lipids were assessed biennially. Participants' added sugar consumption was categorized for each year lipids were available and a longitudinal mixed model was fit.
Results: After controlling for obesity, race, physical activity, smoking, maturation stage, age, and other nutritional factors, consumption of 15-20% of calories from added sugar was significantly associated with a 0.30mg/dL annual decline in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) compared to consumption of <10% calories from added sugar (p=0.03). Consumption of ≥25% of calories from added sugar was marginally not significantly associated with a 0.27mg/dL annual decline in HDL compared to consumption of <10% calories from added sugar (p=0.06).
Conclusion: High consumption of added sugar has deleterious effects on HDL cholesterol among adolescent girls.
