Abstract
This study aims to investigate the association between LCSB consumption and diet quality in children and adolescents, and to compare the diet quality of LCSB consumers with that of water consumers, consumers, or combined consumers of both LCSBs+SSBs. Dietary data collected from children and adolescents enrolled in The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2016 were used to assess diet quality using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2015) total and subcomponent scores. Consumption of LCSBs or SSB+LCSBs does not appear to improve diet quality compared to water. These findings reinforce recommendations that SSBs should be replaced with water rather than LCSBs.
