Abstract
Background:
The global prevalence of noncommunicable diseases has risen rapidly
over the past decade. Research has focused on dietary management, particularly dietary sugar, to
prevent and treat noncommunicable diseases.
Objective:
This study undertakes a scoping review of research on the impacts of dietary sugar on
cardiometabolic related health outcomes.
Methods:
Ovid Medline, Scopus and Web of Science Core collection databases were used to identify
papers published from January 1, 2010 onwards. The included studies had to be cross-sectional
or cohort studies, peered review, published in English and in adults, aged 18 years old and above.
Articles had to determine the impacts of sugar intake on cardiometabolic related health outcomes.
Study quality was measured using the Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and
Cross-sectional Studies. In addition, a narrative synthesis of extracted information was conducted.
Results:
Thirty-one articles were included in this review. All studies had a large sample size, and
the exposure measure was clearly defined, valid and applied consistently across all study participants.
Exposure was measured using validated questionnaires. All data were statistically analysed
and adjusted for critical potential confounding variables. Results showed that dietary sugar intake
was significantly associated with metabolic syndrome, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids,
and body weight.
Conclusion:
Dietary sugar intake significantly increased cardiometabolic risks through mechanisms
dependent and independent of weight gain. It is essential to create public awareness on the
topics of cardiometabolic risk management and dietary sugars intake.
