Association between soft drink consumption, oral health and some lifestyle factors in Swedish adolescents

Abstract

High soft drink consumption was related to poorer oral health and an unhealthier lifestyle.

Association between oral health habits and dental caries among children in Pyongyang, Democratic People's Republic of Korea

“…In this study, most of the children appeared to have a healthy thirst quenching habit. Despite this positive present situation, the common use of sweet snacks may contribute to an increase in the use of sugary beverages in future (8). Males have been shown to consume sweet snacks and sugary beverages more often than females in several studies (4,6,26), but also opposite results have been resulted from neighbouring countries to DPRK in China (21) and in Japan (27).…”

“…Brushing the teeth twice a day has been demonstrated to be superior to once-a-day brushing and for young children supervised toothbrushing at school better than non-supervised brushing at home (4). A healthy diet and the use of water for quenching thirst instead of drinking sugary beverages promote e136 | | Int J Dent Hygiene 15, 2017; e136--e142 dental health, whereas the frequent sucrose intake increases the risk of dental caries among children (4,(6)(7)(8)(9)(10).…”

Dental erosion among children aged 3‐6 years and its associated indicators

“…In children, dental erosion has been reported to be a major problem in past years. According to recent studies, there is some evidence that the presence of dental erosion is steadily increasing (1)(2)(3)(4).…”

The mediating effect of daily nervousness and irritability on the relationship between soft drink consumption and aggressive behaviour among adolescents

“…Regarding psycho-social issues, mental health problems among adolescents have been shown to be more likely in cases of frequent and steady consumption of sugar-containing soft drinks (Lien et al 2006;Shi et al 2010). Also, unhealthy behaviours, such as frequent television viewing, screen-based activities (Olafsdottir et al 2014;Hasselkvist et al 2014;te Velde et al 2014) or frequent meals in fast food restaurants (Verzeletti et al 2010), were significantly linked to soft drink intake. To conclude, soft drink intake seems to be associated with a number of health and behavioural problems.…”
