Free sugar consumption and obesity in European adolescents: The HELENA study 2020 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Few studies have evaluated the association between dietary free sugars intake (FSI) and obesity in adolescents. We examined the relation between FSI and their contributors from the main food groups and obesity in European adolescents. We included 843 adolescents (51.6% male) from the cross-sectional HELENA study with two completed 24 h recalls and anthropometric data. Linear mixed models were applied to investigate the relation between FSI and different anthropometric indices. Odds ratios for having a high body mass index (BMI) were also estimated by multilevel ordinal regression. Total FSI was higher in males than females (102.60 g and 87.58 g, respectively, p < 0.001). No effect was observed between free sugar from the main food groups and BMI. Consumers of FSI from “cakes, pies and biscuits” in males (odd ratio (OR) = 0.455; 95% Confidence interval (CI) 0.251, 0.824) and from “breakfast cereals” in females had a lower probability of having obesity (OR = 0.423; 95%CI 0.204, 0.878), whereas females consuming FSI from ‘fruit and vegetables juices’ had a higher probability of obesity (OR= 2.733; 95% CI 1.286, 5.810). This study provides no evidence that increased FSI is associated with obesity in adolescents. Further studies are needed to assess the longitudinal exposure to FSI and their effect on obesity development. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/FP6/7034/EU/Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence/7034 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/FJCI-2017-34967 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 5.717 2020 NUTRITION & DIETETICS 17 / 88 = 0.193 2020 Q1 T1 1.417 2020 Nutrition and Dietetics 2020 Q1 Food Science 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Moreno, L.A.
