Associations between knowledge of health conditions and sugar-sweetened beverage intake among US adults, 2021
Hunter JR , Oza-Frank R , Park S , Sauer AG , Gunn JP . Nutrients 2024 16 (24) BACKGROUND: Frequent consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) is associated with an increased risk of some health outcomes. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the relationships between knowledge of health risks related to SSB and SSB intake among adults. METHODS: This cross-sectional study utilized data from the 2021 SummerStyles survey. There were 4022 US adult participants (≥18 years). The outcome variable was SSB intake (none, >0 to <1, 1 to <2, or ≥2 times/day). The exposure variables were knowledge of the association between SSB and seven health conditions. Statistical analyses included seven multinomial regressions to estimate adjusted odds ratios (AOR) for the consumption of SSB according to knowledge of SSB-related health risks after controlling for sociodemographics. RESULTS: Overall, about 30% of adults consumed SSB ≥ 2 times/day. While most adults identified SSB-related conditions such as weight gain (84.0%), diabetes (78.4%), and cavities (74.2%) as being related to drinking SSB, fewer adults recognized related conditions, such as some cancers (23.9%), high cholesterol (28.4%), heart disease (33.5%), and high blood pressure (37.8%). Knowledge of any of the health conditions was not significantly associated with consuming SSB ≥ 2 times/day compared to non-SSB consumers. CONCLUSIONS: Knowledge of SSB-related health conditions varied by sociodemographics but was not associated with high SSB intake. Future studies could explore other factors beyond knowledge that may influence adults' high SSB intake. |
Current and historically used pesticides in residential soil from 11 homes in Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Riederer AM , Smith KD , Barr DB , Hayden SW , Hunter Jr RE , Ryan PB . Arch Environ Contam Toxicol 2010 58 (4) 908-17 We used a multiresidue, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-based method to measure seven pyrethroid, five organophosphorus (OP), and six organochlorine pesticides in soil collected from 11 Atlanta homes in 2006. Our objective was to collect preliminary data for a larger study of pesticide exposures among Atlanta children. The pyrethroid insecticides (cis- and trans-permethrin, bioallethrin) were the most commonly detected analytes, giving evidence of widespread outdoor use among our study homes. Our pyrethroid insecticide detection frequencies were higher than those reported in a recent study of Ohio and North Carolina homes; however, our maximum values were approximately half of those reported. We detected the target OP pesticides in only a few samples, but we found two restricted-use OP pesticides--methyl parathion and terbufos--and thus possible evidence of illegal residential use or environmental persistence in soil. We also detected dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDE) in samples from six homes. Although our small sample size limits comparison to other studies, our results provide evidence that residential soil is a potential source of human exposure to both current and historically used pesticides. |
