“…Although previous studies have shown that higher dietary intake of whole grains are associated with decreased BMI and ingestion of more sweetened soft drinks can increase the risk of obesity, and obesity‐related disease , this is the first population study showing their relationships with skeletal muscle mass. The findings of the present study are consistent with the only clinical trial conducted by Albala et al .…”

Summary Background and objectives Investigations in older individuals suggest that adequate nutrition and physical activity are particularly important to skeletal muscle health; however, data in adolescents are scant and equivocal. The objective was to determine the associations among diet, physical activity and skeletal muscle mass in adolescents. Methods We assessed diet with four to seven 24‐h recalls and physical activity by accelerometry in 640 adolescents. Using total body measures of fat‐free soft tissue mass and fat mass assessed by dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry, the skeletal muscle mass index (SMMI) was derived by adjusting fat‐free soft tissue mass for fat mass in addition to height. Results Skeletal muscle mass index (SMMI) was negatively associated with consumption of sugar‐sweetened beverages (standardized beta coefficient [β] = −0.10, P = 0.001) and saturated fats (β = −0.28, P < 0.001). SMMI was positively associated with physical activity (moderate + vigorous) (β = 0.20, P < 0.001). In further analysis, we observed a significant interaction between physical activity and sugar‐sweetened beverage intake on SMMI (P = 0.002). Conclusion Our study in adolescence suggests that physical activity and consumption of both sugar‐sweetened beverages and saturated fats are associated with skeletal muscle mass. More importantly, our findings suggest that sugar‐sweetened beverage intake may attenuate the beneficial effects of physical activity on skeletal muscle mass.

“…Furthermore, recent findings show that the proportion of children categorized as obese is relatively constant up to age 7, and a significant increase in obesity prevalence occurs between the ages of 7 and 11 (25). Therefore, some (albeit mixed) evidence of associations between SSB/ASB consumption and risk of obesity at age 7-8 years may suggest the possibility that some children may be on a trajectory towards patterns of beverage consumption and weight gain, which may become increasingly evident later in childhood and adolescence (26).…”

“…Sugars-sweetened beverages (SSB) are also popular and readily available, often more so than drinking water. For example, in a study of Malaysian adolescents (Loh et al 2017) mean SSB consumption was found to be on average 177.5 ml/day. This compares to 63 ml/day for Korean adolescents (Ha et al 2016) and 127 ml/day for Australian children and adolescents (Clifton et al 2011).…”

ToyBox Study Malaysia: Improving healthy energy balance and obesity‐related behaviours among pre‐schoolers in Malaysia

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity is increasing in Malaysia and currently nearly 10% of children aged between 6 months and 12 years are overweight and almost 12% are obese. Early interventions to prevent excess weight gain are needed. ToyBox Study Malaysia is a feasibility project, funded by the Medical Research Council Newton‐Ungku Omar Fund, to assess the practicalities of adapting the existing European ToyBox Study intervention programme to the Malaysian kindergarten setting. The main aims of all ToyBox programmes are related to improving four key energy balance‐related behaviours, namely drinking water, eating healthy snacks and meals, reducing sedentary behaviour and increasing physical activity. Using stratified sampling, the ToyBox Study Malaysia intervention will be delivered and compared to usual practice by assessing behaviour, physical activity and health‐related outcomes as measured by questionnaires, accelerometry and anthropometry. It is hoped that the evidence‐based ToyBox Study Malaysia will help to achieve healthier energy balance‐related behaviours in the children and their families and provide lifelong benefits to health. This article provides information on the dietary patterns, physical activity levels and prevalence of overweight and obesity in Malaysian children, and the approach of the ToyBox Study Malaysia.

Sugar‐sweetened beverage intake and its associations with cardiometabolic risks among adolescents

Abstract: Sugar-sweetened beverage intake was unfavourably associated with cardiometabolic health outcomes among young adolescents. Concerted efforts towards healthy hydration are imperative to mitigate risk of cardiometabolic events.
