By Hugo Francisco de SouzaAug 14 2023Reviewed by Sophia Coveney In a study recently published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers carried out a longitudinal analysis of data on 87,115 people to investigate the association between the consumption of sugar-sweetened carbonated beverages and the risk of depression.
‘Depression’ is an umbrella term for conditions negatively affecting an individual’s mood. It is clinically characterized by feelings of sadness and hopelessness, loss of interest in normal day-to-day activities, and heightened anxiety, all of which cause disruptions in interpersonal relationships and work, school, or social activities.
About the study In the present study, researchers used a longitudinal study approach to investigate the association between SSCB consumption and the risk of developing depressive symptoms. Their analyses were designed to eliminate the confounding impacts of glycemic status and IR, thereby elucidating the independent effects of SSBCs.
Related StoriesClinical and biochemical data was collected from hospital records supplemented with a health-related behavior questionnaire. The questionnaire recorded subjects’ physical activity levels via the International Physical Activity Questionnaire , their health behaviors , and educational status.
The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression questionnaire was used to evaluate depressive symptoms per week. The questionnaire comprised 20 questions about negative/depressive feelings, with answers ranging from 0 to 3 . If the total score from the CES-D questionaries was 16 or higher, the individual was classified as having depressive symptoms.
These results were mirrored across sex, BMI, and glycemic status, implying that SSCBs play an independent role in triggering depression, and are not just cofactors in the condition along with IR and obesity as previously suggested.
