Research shows that compared with people who never or rarely drink sugary drinks, people who drink ≥2 servings per day have a 21% increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Comparing those who met physical activity standards with those who did not, each additional serving of sugary drinks per day increased the risk of cardiovascular disease by 18% and 12% respectively.
Sugary drinks (Piqsels)
Compared with people who were physically active and never or rarely drank sugary drinks, those who were not physically active and drank ≥2 servings per week had a 47% increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
In general, physical activity levels reaching the levels recommended by WHO guidelines can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, but it is still not enough to offset the cardiovascular damage of sugary drinks.
The study analyzed a total of 65,730 women from the Nurses’ Health Study and 39,418 men from the Health Care Provider Follow-up Study. Intake of sugary drinks or drinks with artificial sweeteners was assessed every four years, and physical activity levels were assessed every four years. Evaluated every 2 years.
During 3,001,213 person-years of follow-up, 13,269 cardiovascular events occurred. Cardiovascular disease is defined as fatal and nonfatal coronary artery disease and stroke.
