Oral health impact of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among Korean adolescents.
Int J Dent Hyg
November 2022
Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to examine how often adolescents drink sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and its link to oral health issues.
- - Data from the 2017 Korea Youth Risk Behaviour Survey with nearly 65,000 participants revealed that those who consumed SSBs weekly had more oral symptoms like tooth sensitivity and gum pain.
- - Findings indicate that higher SSB consumption correlates with more reported oral health problems among adolescents, suggesting a negative impact on their oral health.
Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to investigate current sugar-sweetened beverage consumption habits in Korean adolescents in conjunction with their demo-socioeconomic characteristics, and to identify variables that affect such behaviours.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted via secondary analysis of data from the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey (the 11th survey). The dependent variable in the current study was the combined consumption frequency of three types of sugar-sweetened beverages (carbonated beverages, highly-caffeinated beverages, sugary beverages), and demographic (gender, academic grade, residence), sociological (father's education level, mother's education level, having experienced depression within the last 12 months) and economic (subjective economic status, weekly allowance) factors constituted the independent variables.
