Differences in Male and Female Adolescents From Various Racial Groups in the Relationship Between Insulin Resistance-Associated Parameters With Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Intake and Physical Activity Levels
Open accessAbstract
Objective: To describe racial and gender differences in insulin resistance—associated parameters due to sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake and physical activity (PA) levels in the adolescent population. Methods: Data from individuals aged 12 to 19 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey during the years 1999-2004 were analyzed. SSB intake and PA levels were evaluated in Non-Hispanic whites, Non-Hispanic blacks, and Mexican Americans. Outcome measures included measurements of insulin sensitivity, lipids, blood pressure, waist circumference, and body mass index. Results: Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that anthropometric measurements, metabolic parameters, and indices of insulin resistance differed among the racial groups. Moreover, within each of these racial groups, they differed between the sexes. Conclusions: The differing relationships between insulin resistance—associated parameters and SSB intake and PA levels among racial groups and between the sexes illustrate the importance of race and gender in the investigation of diseases such as obesity and metabolic syndrome.

One study reported positive associations between SSB consumption and HOMA-IR among White and African Americans, but null associations among Mexican Americans.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
