Abstract Details

2019, Master of Science, Miami University, Exercise and Health Studies.
Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption has been identified as a contributor to obesity and lifestyle-related diseases. Research is needed regarding SSB intake in older adults for the risk of chronic disease on functionality. The purpose of this study was to identify associations between SSB/added sugar consumption and markers of health status in older adults as well as contribution of SSBs/added sugars to habitual diet. Bivariate correlations were performed and partial correlations determined significance while controlling for age and sex. In fifty participants (39F, 11M, age 69.0±9.8 years, mean SSB intake 9.2±9.2 ounces), SSB intake was inversely associated with total physical activity (r(45) = -0.333, p < .05), independent of age and sex. SSB intake was not significantly associated with anthropometrics, blood lipids, or habitual diet. Added sugar intake (g) was inversely associated with MVPA r(40) = -0.330, p < .05), independent of age and sex, but was not associated with any other variable of interest. Few results of the current study are in alignment with existing literature on SSB intake and disease. Low SSB/added sugar intake and small sample size may have contributed to lack of significant findings. Additional research with a larger sample and more variable SSB consumption is warranted.
