Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health concern worldwide, affecting over 800 million people. As CKD is irreversible, lifestyle changes are crucial to prevent it. Dietary modifications play a vital role in managing and preventing CKD. Beverage intake, an essential component of dietary intake, can impact fluid balance, nutrient intake, and metabolic pathways. However, the relationship between beverage consumption and CKD risk remains unclear.
- Consuming more than one serving of sugar-sweetened beverages daily was tied to a higher risk of incident CKD with an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.19.
- The AHR for participants consuming more than 0 to 1 serving daily of artificially sweetened beverages was 1.10, and for consuming more than one serving per day, it was 1.26 compared to consuming no artificially sweetened drinks.
- There was no significant association between natural juice intake and incident CKD.
- Substituting sugar-sweetened beverages with artificially sweetened beverages did not show any significant difference in the risk of CKD (HR, 1.03).
- Conversely, replacing one serving per day of sugar-sweetened beverages with natural juice and water and replacing 1 serving per day of artificially sweetened beverage with natural juice reduced incident CKD risk.
