Heart failure & cardiomyopathiesCohort study
Sweetened beverages and incident heart failure
- Prospective cohort study
- UK Biobank
Authors' conclusion
Increased consumption of SSBs or ASBs may be an independent risk factor for HF, whereas moderate intake of PJs may have a protective effect on HF.
Study context
- Population
- UK Biobank participants free of baseline heart failure (HF) with at least one 24-h diet questionnaire4,328 incident HF cases
- Participants
- 209,829 participants
- Exposure
- SSB, ASB or PJ consumption vs non-consumers
- Outcome
- Incident HF
- Follow-up
- Median 9.9 years
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Each group vs non-consumersHazard ratio (95% CI)
SSBs >2 L/weekmultivariate adjusted
1.22(1.08–1.38)
ASBs >2 L/weekmultivariate adjusted
1.30(1.16–1.47)
PJs >0-1 L/week
0.90(0.83–0.98)
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Interaction of PJ consumption and sleep duration on HF risk
- Significant interaction between PJ consumption and sleep duration
- P for interaction = 0.030
