The association between non-nutritive sweeteners and obesity is controversial.
To determine whether the consumption of non-nutritive sweeteners is related to higher risk for overweight or obesity among university students in Chile, Panama, Guatemala and Peru.
A total of 1,224 (472 from Chile, 300 from Panama, 248 from Guatemala and 204 from Peru) male and female university students aged between 18 and 26 years participated in the study. Each student reported their food intake (frequency of weekly consumption) in a survey that contained photos of foods containing non-nutritive sweeteners adapted for each country. Anthropometry was also measured.
More than 80% of students consumed at least one product containing non-nutritive sweeteners. Females who ate acesulfame potassium and sucralose had a lower risk of overweight or obesity with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.5 (confidence intervals (CI) = 0.3-0.9; p = 0.003) and OR = 0.4 (IC = 0.2-0.8; p = 0.01), respectively.
In this sample of Latinamerican university students, consumption of non-nutritive sweeteners was associated with lower risk of overweight only in females.
非营养性甜味剂与肥胖之间的关联存在争议。
确定在智利、巴拿马、危地马拉和秘鲁的大学生中,食用非营养性甜味剂是否与超重或肥胖的较高风险相关。
共有1224名年龄在18至26岁之间的男女大学生(472名来自智利,300名来自巴拿马,248名来自危地马拉,204名来自秘鲁)参与了这项研究。每位学生在一项包含适合每个国家的含非营养性甜味剂食物照片的调查中报告了他们的食物摄入量(每周食用频率)。还测量了人体测量数据。
超过80%的学生食用了至少一种含非营养性甜味剂的产品。食用安赛蜜和三氯蔗糖的女性超重或肥胖风险较低,优势比(OR)分别为0.5(置信区间(CI)=0.3 - 0.9;p = 0.003)和OR = 0.4(IC = 0.2 - 0.8;p = 0.01)。
在这个拉丁美洲大学生样本中,仅在女性中,食用非营养性甜味剂与较低的超重风险相关。
