スウォンジ大学心理学部の新研究によると、幼少期に砂糖入り飲料を摂取すると、後の肥満リスクが高まる可能性がある。この研究は、14,000人の英国の子供を追跡し、長期間のもので、コーラや砂糖入りフルーツジュースを飲んでいた子供は、24歳の時に体重が増えやすかった。また、純粋なリンゴジュースを飲んでいた女の子は体重増加が少なかった。飲料の違いによって食事内容も異なり、社会的な経済状況との関連も示された。

幼児期に果汁飲料よりも砂糖入り飲料を選ぶと、成人後の肥満リスクにつながる(Choosing sugary drinks over fruit juice for toddlers linked to risk of adult obesity)

Abstract

Objective
To examine associations between different types of sweet drinks consumed in early life and adult adiposity.

Design
The analysis involved the secondary analysis of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children which followed children from birth to 24 years. Adiposity was measured using Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry while food frequency questionnaires and diaries monitored diet. ‘Early exposure’ to sweet drinks was defined as giving a sugar-sweetened beverage or 100% fruit juice (FJ), before two years of age.

Results
Early exposure to cola was associated with higher fat mass, android fat mass and BMI at age 24 years; whereas early exposure to apple juice was associated with lower adult adiposity in females but not males. When age three, exposure to cola was associated with a greater intake of energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat, and less fruit and more fried foods. In contrast, early exposure to apple juice was associated with higher protein and lower fat intakes and consuming more fruits/vegetables and less fried foods. Parental education, adiposity and socio-economic status influenced whether SSB or FJ was given to a child.

Conclusions
Early drinking of sugar sweetened beverages was associated with a less healthy dietary pattern, and greater adult adiposity. Early drinking of apple juice was associated with a healthier dietary pattern, and lower fat mass in adult females. The choice of drink was associated with social deprivation. As the dietary causes of adult obesity begin in early childhood, increased attention should be given to diet in the first years of life.
