Associations of prenatal and child sugar intake with child cognition

American Journal of Preventive Medicine Apr 21, 2018

Cohen JFW, et al. - Researchers assessed the associations of pregnancy and offspring sugar consumption (sucrose, fructose) with child cognition. They also studied the associations of maternal and child consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), other beverages (diet soda, juice), and fruit with child cognition. They used linear regression models adjusted for maternal and child characteristics and assessed mother–child pairs enrolled 1999–2002 in Project Viva, a pre-birth cohort, in 2017 diet. Findings suggested that child cognition may be adversely influenced by sugar consumption, especially from SSBs, during pregnancy and childhood, as well as by maternal diet soda consumption, while improvements may result from child fruit consumption. Adverse effects on childhood cognition may be prevented via interventions and policies that promote healthier diets.
