Sugar-sweetened beverages consumption in relation to hypertension among Iranian university students: the MEPHASOUS study
Frequent consumption of sugary beverages may result in a spike in the incidence of hypertension among men and women.
This study focused on whether regular drinking of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is tied to the development of high blood pressure (hypertension). With the aid of dietary questionnaires, researchers examined the beverage-consumption habits of 66,634 university students from Iran. The blood pressures of all the participants were measured regularly throughout the course of the study.
Researchers noticed that individuals who drank the highest amounts of sugary beverages were 2.17 times more likely to have hypertension than their counterparts who refrained from consuming these sweetened drinks. This study further lend support to the hypothesis that habitual drinking of sugary beverages may facilitate the onset of hypertension in men and women.
