Objectives: We determined associations between diet soda consumption and risk of incident MetSyn, its components, and type 2 diabetes in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.
Research Design & Methods: Diet soda consumption was assessed by food frequency questionnaire at baseline (2000-02). Incident type 2 diabetes was identified at three follow-up exams (2002-03, 2004-05, 2005-07) as fasting glucose >126 mg/dL, self-reported type 2 diabetes, or use of diabetes medication. MetSyn (and components) were defined by National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel 3 criteria. Hazard ratios (HR with [95% CI]) for type 2 diabetes, Met Syn, and MetSyn components, were estimated adjusting for demographic, lifestyle, and dietary confounders.
Results: At least daily consumption of diet soda was associated with a 36% greater relative risk of incident MetSyn and a 67% greater relative risk of incident type 2 diabetes compared to non-consumption (1.36 [1.11, 1.66] for MetSyn; 1.67 [1.27, 2.20] for type 2 diabetes). Of MetSyn components, only high waist circumference (men: >/=102 cm; women: >/=88 cm) and high fasting glucose (>/=100 mg/dL) were prospectively associated with diet soda consumption.
Associations between diet soda consumption and type 2 diabetes were independent of baseline measures of adiposity or changes in these measures, whereas associations between diet soda and MetSyn were not independent of these factors.
Conclusions: Although these observational data cannot establish causality, consumption of diet soda at least daily was associated with significantly greater risks of select incident MetSyn components and type 2 diabetes.
