Objectives: To evaluate whether childhood emotional and behavioral characteristics are associated with soda intake.

Methods: The study population included 391 Mexico City adolescents enrolled in a birth cohort study. When children were between 6 and 12 years of age, the Behavioral Assessment System for Children (BASC)-2 was administered. Nondiet soda intake was measured concurrently and again when participants were of peripubertal ages via food frequency questionnaire. Linear regression models were run with soda mL/day (cross-sectional and change in soda over time) as the outcome and BASC composite scores as predictors (in separate models), adjusting for confounders.

Results: At baseline, children were 8.3 (SD 1.3) years (49% males). Three scales out of 18 examined had statistically significant associations. Parent-reported adaptive skills were inversely associated with concurrent soda intake (β = -2.29 with 95% CI -4.27 to -0.31). Parent-reported internalizing problems (higher = more problems) were related to higher change in soda intake from childhood to adolescence (β = 5.83 with 95% CI 0.98-10.68; N = 191). Self-reported school problems were associated with a higher change in soda intake over time (β = 9.46 with 95% CI 2.10-16.82; N = 122).

Conclusions: Parent- and self-reported emotional and behavioral difficulties in childhood were associated with soda consumption and changes in soda consumption over time.

Objective: High consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is associated with an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality; however, the data and results for Asian populations, particularly in Korea, are limited and unclear. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the association between types of SSB consumption and risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality in South Korean adults.

Methods: This prospective study included Korean adults aged 40 to 79 who participated in the Health Examinees Study.

Here we describe an approach and overall concept on how to train undergraduate university students to understand basic regulation and integration of glucose and fatty acid metabolism in response to fasting, intake of carbohydrates and aerobic exercise. During lectures and both theoretical and practical sessions, the students read, analyse, and discuss the fundamentals of Randle cycle. They focus on how metabolism is regulated in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver at a molecular level under various metabolic conditions.

Disparities in Health and Oral Health Behaviors Among Adolescents from Multicultural Families in South Korea.

Inquiry

November 2024

Department of Preventive Dentistry and Research Institute of Oral Sciences, College of Dentistry, Gangneung-Wonju National University, Gangneung, Republic of Korea.

This study analyzed changes over time in order to identify disparities in health and oral health behaviors among adolescents from multicultural families residing in Korea. This was a cross-sectional analysis of secondary data utilizing raw data from 2011 to 2022 from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a statistical dataset provided by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. The variables included demographic characteristics, socioeconomic characteristics, health behavior (diet, alcohol consumption, smoking), and oral health behavior (toothbrushing behavior, preventive care behavior, oral symptom experience, and school-based oral health education experience).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to explore the relationship between non-nutritive sweetener (NNS) consumption and diet quality, using data from the American Cancer Society's cancer prevention study with over 163,000 participants.
  • - Results showed that consumers of NNS generally had lower diet quality compared to non-consumers, as indicated by decreases in both the ACS diet score and the Healthy Eating Index scores with increased NNS intake.
  • - Additionally, the likelihood of having a low diet quality increased with higher NNS consumption, indicating that those who consumed 2 or more servings of NNS daily had significantly higher odds of poor diet quality.
