Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Higher sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is linked to increased kidney stone risk in adults. Reducing SSB intake may help prevent kidney stones.
Area Of Science
- Public Health
- Nephrology
- Nutritional Epidemiology
Background
- Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption is a significant public health concern.
- The association between SSB intake and kidney stone risk in younger and middle-aged populations requires further investigation.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate the relationship between SSB intake and kidney stone prevalence in adults.
- To assess both absolute and relative SSB intake metrics in relation to kidney stone risk.
Main Methods
- Utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database (2007-2016).
- Assessed SSB intake via 24-hour dietary recalls, measuring absolute (kcal/d) and relative (% of daily energy) intake.
- Employed multivariable logistic regression and stratified analyses, accounting for sample weighting.
Main Results
- Analyzed data from 15,779 participants, with 1,224 diagnosed with kidney stones.
- Both absolute and relative SSB intake showed a positive association with kidney stone risk (ORs > 1).
- Increased SSB intake across tertiles correlated with significantly higher odds of kidney stones, with notable interactions with obesity and alcohol consumption.
Conclusions
- Higher SSB intake is associated with an elevated risk of kidney stones in middle-aged and young adults.
- Limiting SSB consumption may be a viable strategy for kidney stone prevention.

The kidneys are two large bean-shaped organs located in the upper abdomen. They filter the blood several times a day to remove toxins and rebalance water and electrolytes of the circulatory system via the renal veins. The kidneys receive blood directly from the heart via the renal arteries. These arteries enter the kidney at the hilum, the concave surface of the bean, where they branch and divide into smaller vessels and capillaries.
The renal cortex is the thick outer layer of the kidney. It...
The urinary system is responsible for eliminating waste and excess fluids from the body. However, disorders of the urinary system can arise due to various reasons like infections, stress, age, congenital abnormalities, and lifestyle.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common urinary system disorders. They are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and can spread to the bladder resulting in cystitis. Pyelonephritis is the result of a UTI that has ascended to the level of the...
The kidneys are a pair of bean-shaped organs in the human body that play a critical role in maintaining overall health. They filter out waste products from the blood, regulate blood pressure, maintain electrolyte balance, and stimulate the production of red blood cells.
The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space on either side of the vertebral column, protected posteriorly by the 11th and 12th ribs. The right kidney sits slightly lower than the left owing to the presence of the liver...
Osmolality refers to the number of solute particles per kilogram of solvent in a solution. Plasma osmolality specifically indicates the total number of solute particles per kilogram of water in blood plasma. This value reflects the body's hydration status and is tightly regulated through mechanisms controlling water intake and output. While water consumption is a conscious decision, the body has intrinsic regulatory systems to maintain fluid balance. Dehydration, a state of water deficit...
The renin-aldosterone system is an endocrine system which guides the renal absorption of water and electrolytes, thus managing blood pressure and osmoregulation. Activation of the system begins in the kidneys with a small cluster of cells adjacent to the afferent and efferent blood vessels of the renal corpuscle. As the nephrons are filtering blood, juxtaglomerular cells monitor blood pressure. If they detect a decrease in pressure, they release the hormone renin into the bloodstream.
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
