“…Natural selection could be responsible for more efficient energy storage, which results in a high prevalence of metabolic disorders [12,13]. Such significant changes in the prevalence of MetS could reflect the acculturation of a genetically susceptible population and the adoption of an obesogenic environment [19,20,24]. This assertion is supported by the observation that indigenous communities close to urban areas have a higher prevalence of metabolic disorders relative to communities with the same genetic background that remain isolated [19,24,32,33,34].…”

“…The vast majority of the Mexican population is Mestizo with a strong Amerindian component (56%) [15], and an estimated 14.9% of the Mexican population comprises indigenous people distributed over 68 ethnic groups [16,17]. Although many of these indigenous populations have retained their genetic backgrounds, native languages, and socioeconomic structures over the centuries [16,18], over the last few decades they have experienced dramatic changes in their lifestyles, primarily with regard to excessive energy intake and a sedentary lifestyle [19,20]. Parallel with this progressive change, an increase in the prevalence of metabolic diseases has been observed [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

Background: An Amerindian genetic background could play an important role in susceptibility to metabolic diseases, which have alarmingly increased in recent decades. Mexico has one of the highest prevalences of metabolic disease worldwide. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components in a population with high Amerindian ancestry. Methods: We performed a descriptive, quantitative, and analytical cross-sectional study of 2596 adult indigenous volunteers from 60 different ethnic groups. Metabolic syndrome and its components were evaluated using the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Scientific Statement criteria. Results: The overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the indigenous Mexican population was 50.3%. Although females had a higher prevalence than males (55.6% vs. 38.2%), the males presented with combinations of metabolic syndrome components that confer a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. The most frequent metabolic syndrome component in both genders was low HDL-cholesterol levels (75.8%). Central obesity was the second most frequent component in females (61%), though it had a low prevalence in males (16.5%). The overall prevalence of elevated blood pressure was 42.7% and was higher in males than females (48.8 vs. 40%). We found no gender differences in the overall prevalence of elevated triglycerides (56.7%) or fasting glucose (27.9%). Conclusions: We documented that individuals with Amerindian ancestry have a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Health policies are needed to control the development of metabolic disorders in a population with high genetic risk.

“…The consumption of SSB is closely linked to socioeconomic class, with poorer communities displaying relatively higher intakes compared with their more affluent counterparts. For example, the Native American Indian population exhibits a relatively high prevalence of obesity and T2DM, and here it was reported that a significant percentage of Navajo girls and boys consumed SSBs (86% and 93%, respectively) [ 66 ]. Together these studies show that SSB intake not only is detrimental to the adult population but extends to adolescents as well and that its effects may vary depending on ethnicity.…”

The incidence of noncommunicable diseases is on the rise and poses a major threat to global public health. This is in parallel to a steady increase in worldwide intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) among all age groups. As several studies demonstrated a controversial relationship between SSB consumption and the metabolic syndrome (MetS), this mini-review focuses on links between its intake and (1) MetS, (2) prediabetes/type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and (3) hypertension. A detailed search for clinical and observational studies published during the past 10 years was conducted using key terms that link SSBs to the MetS, T2DM, and hypertension. Here we excluded all meta-analyses and also literature that solely focused on obesity. The analysis revealed that most epidemiological studies strongly show that frequent SSB intake contributes to the onset of the MetS in the longer term. Some of the findings also show that regular SSB intake can alter glucose handling and insulin sensitivity, thereby contributing to the development of the MetS and T2DM. There is also evidence that frequent SSB intake (and particularly fructose) is linked to hypertension and well-known cardiovascular disease risk factors. However, some studies report on the lack of negative effects as a result of SSB consumption. Because of this discrepancy, we propose that well-designed long-term clinical studies should further enhance our understanding regarding the links between SSB consumption and the onset of cardiometabolic diseases.

“…Some groups, such as male adolescents (aged 12‐19 years), consumed 12% of their overall energy from these drinks . The highest intake of sugar‐sweetened beverages occurs in adolescents, young adults in their 20s, individuals with a lower socioeconomic status , and certain ethnically defined populations, including African American , Hispanic , American Indian and Alaskan Native , and Pacific peoples .…”

Objective: Intake of sugary drinks, especially soft drinks, carries increased risk for obesity and diabetes. This article reviews whether sugary drinks carry different risks for metabolic syndrome compared with foods that contain natural or added sugars. Methods: A narrative review was performed to evaluate differences between liquid and solid sugars in their ability to induce metabolic syndrome and to discuss potential mechanisms to account for the differences. Results: Epidemiological studies support liquid added sugars, such as soft drinks, as carrying greater risk for development of metabolic syndrome compared with solid sugar. Some studies suggest that fruit juice may also confer relatively higher risk for weight gain and insulin resistance compared with natural fruits. Experimental evidence suggests this may be due to differences in how fructose is metabolized. Fructose induces metabolic disease by reducing the energy levels in liver cells, mediated by the concentration of fructose to which the cells are exposed. The concentration relates to the quantity and speed at which fructose is ingested, absorbed, and metabolized. Conclusions: Although reduced intake of added sugars (sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup) remains a general recommendation, there is evidence that sugary soft drinks may provide greater health risks relative to sugar-containing foods.
