Age 2- to 5-Year Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Intakes Predict Age 5- to 17-Year BMI Cluster Assignment but Not BF or FMI Cluster Assignment Following Energy Adjustment

摘要

Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intakes have been associated with obesity, generally assessed using body mass index (BMI). BMI is a surrogate measure of obesity, with % body fat (%BF) and fat mass index (FMI) considered more direct measures of BF. Our objectives were to predict age 5- to 17-year low, middle, and high BMI, %BF, and FMI cluster assignments from age 2- to 5-year beverage and energy intakes.
