dc.description.abstract | Soft drinks can be a major source of sucrose, which may influence serum lipid concentration. We have examined
the association between intake frequency of various types of soft drinks and the concentration of serum triglycerides
(TG) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in the cross-sectional Oslo Health
Study. A total of 14 188 subjects of the altogether 18 770 participants of the study had data on intake frequency of colas
and non-colas, with or without sugar. The population sample consisted of both sexes and 3 age groups: group1 (30 years
of age), group 2 (40 and 45 years of age), and group 3 (59–60 years of age). In both sexes, HDL decreased and TG increased
significantly (p < 0.001) with increasing intake frequency of colas. In contrast, no consistent associations were
found between the reported intake of non-cola soft drinks and the serum lipids. We found no significant differences related
to the reported presence or absence of sugar in the soft drinks. In multiple linear regression analyses, the colas vs. serum
lipid associations prevailed (p < 0.001) after including 13 possible confounders: sex; age group; time since last meal; physical
activity; intake of alcohol, coffee, cheese, fruit and (or) berries, and fatty fish; smoking; length of education; use of
cholesterol-lowering drugs; and intake of non-colas. Thus, the self-reported intake frequency of colas, but not other soft
drinks, was negatively associated with serum HDL, and positively associated with TG and LDL. | en |
