AM J Clin Nutr: Consuming sugary drinks increases risk of hyperuric acid, sugar-free drinks or healthier

!---- In Mexico, the increase in consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (sugar-sweetened beverages, SSB) is an important public health issue, there has been little research on the relationship between the intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and hyperuric acid emis, a team of researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico's School of Medicine recently looked ahead to assess the relationship between the use of sugar-sweetened beverages in adults and the risk of hyperuric acidresearchers used data from a group of cohort studies for longitudinal analysisthe study included 1,300 Mexican adults between the ages of 18 and 85 who were continuously tracked from 2004 to 2018, collecting health data every six yearsconsumption of sugary beverages in the previous year was assessed in a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (food frequency questionnaire, FFQ)the study defined hyperuric acid disorder as: male uric acid concentration of 7.0 mg/dL, female uric acid concentration of 5.7 mg/dLand the correlation between factors of interest and observation indicators were assessed using the fixed effect logistic regression and the Generalized Estimated Equation (GENERALized Estimated Equation, GEE)both approaches incorporate potential confounding factorsshowed above, 233 participants had hyperuric acid emis and the median intake of sugar-sweetened beverages was 472.1 mL/week (IQR: 198.8-1416.4 mL/week)participants with higher intake of sugar-sweetened beverages of 7 servings per week had higher blood uric acid (P.lt; 0.001) compared to those who intakeed 1 serving/weekthe participants who consumed the most had a 2.6-fold increased risk of hyperuric acidemia (95% CI: 1.27, 5.26) compared to those who consumed the least sweetened beveragesthe GEE model showed that participants who consumed 2-6 servings of sugar-sweetened beverages per week had a 44 percent increased risk of hyperureticemia (OR s 1.44; 95 percent CI: 1.13, 1.84);intake of sugar-free beverages was not associated with hyperuric acidemiathe team's findings, sugar-sweetened beverage intake in Mexican adults is associated with an increased risk of hyperuric acid, and the intake of sugar-free beverages does not increase the risk of hyperuric acid
