“…According to the survey, 64 percent of the population consumed SSBs in 2016 (11.3 million in a total population of 17.7 million). The PAF of SSBs was derived from the relative risks associated with the consumption of more than one serving of SSBs per day for diabetes, obesity, ischemic heart disease, and stroke from the review of Shim et al (2019) and the share of exposed subjects in the entire study population (the proportion of the population that reports consumption of SSBs) ( ) in Kazakhstan in 2016, obtained from the HBS, according to the following formula:…”

Health and Distributional Impacts of a Tax on Sugar-Sweetened Beverages in Kazakhstan

Excessive consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has been linked to the development of a wide range of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and over 12 types of cancer (Singh, et al. 2015). Increasingly, governments around the world are implementing especial taxes on SSBs to curb excessive sugar consumption. However, especially in low-and middle-income countries, there is a growing concern over the apparent regressive character of consumer taxes applied to unhealthy products. This note contributes to the literature on the effect of taxes on unhealthy products such as tobacco, alcohol, and SSBs by applying the extended cost-benefit analysis methodology to assess the distributional effects of an increase in taxes on SSBs on household expenditures, out-of-pocket (OOP) medical expenses, and productivity by income deciles in Kazakhstan. Results suggest that the net income effect of an increase in taxes on SSBs is progressive in the long run, with lower-income deciles benefiting more in relative terms than higher-income deciles.

Previous systematic reviews, which focused on sugars intake and its relationship with health issues were mainly conducted in Western countries, not Asian countries characterised by differences in dietary habits and disease prevalence. The scarcity of Asian studies may be attributed to the lack of assessment tools for estimating sugars intake. To provide an overview of the epidemiological studies on sugars intake in Asian countries, with a primary focus on dietary assessment methodology for estimating sugars intake, we conducted a scoping review of the epidemiological studies estimating sugars intake in Asian countries (the United Nations’ definition) and Taiwan using PubMed and Web of Science. Study quality was evaluated based on its assessment of sugars intake in the whole diet, dietary assessment methods, and data sources used for estimating sugars content. We identified 143 studies from 136 publications from Eastern (n=63), Southern (n=30), South-eastern (n=26), and Western (n=24) Asia. Total sugars were investigated in 95 studies, while 23–30 studies investigated sucrose, fructose, added sugars, and free sugars. The main aim of the selected studies was assessment of diet-disease relationships (n=85) and estimation of dietary intake (n=40), and 62 studies assessed sugars as the primary exposure/outcome. One hundred twenty studies assessed sugars intake in the whole diet, and 62 studies used validated FFQ or multiple-day dietary assessment methods. Only 41 studies used country-specific comprehensive food composition databases or directly measured the sugars content. Only 17 studies reported high-quality data. This review elucidated a sufficient number of epidemiological studies estimating sugars intake across Asian countries; however, most studies reported low-quality data. The results from our review showed that both feasible and validated dietary assessment methods, as well as comprehensive country-specific sugars composition databases, are essential for producing high quality studies with accurate sugars intake to examine their association with health outcomes.

Objective Excessive sugar consumption is an established risk factor for various chronic diseases (CDs). No earlier study has quantified its economic burden in terms of health care costs for treatment and management of CDs, and costs associated with lost productivity and premature mortality. This information, however, is essential to public health decision-makers when planning and prioritizing interventions. The present study aimed to estimate the economic burden of excessive free sugar consumption in Canada. Methods Free sugars refer to all monosaccharides and disaccharides added to foods plus sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, and fruit juice. Based on free sugar consumption reported in the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey–Nutrition and established risk estimates for 16 main CDs, we calculated the avoidable direct health care costs and indirect costs. Results If Canadians were to comply with the free sugar recommendation (consumption below 10% of total energy intake (TEI)), an estimated $2.5 billion (95% CI: 1.5, 3.6) in direct health care and indirect costs could have been avoided in 2019. For the stricter recommendation (consumption below 5% of TEI), this was $5.0 billion (95% CI: 3.1, 6.9). Conclusion Excessive free sugar in our diet has an enormous economic burden that is larger than that of any food group and 3 to 6 times that of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs). Public health interventions to reduce sugar consumption should therefore consider going beyond taxation of SSBs to target a broader set of products, in order to more effectively reduce the public health and economic burden of CDs.
