Background: Sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) are the largest contributor to added sugars and calories in the U.S. diet with highest intake among US Hispanics. The prevalence of obesity in adults in the US is much higher in Hispanics compared to non-Hispanic whites (47% and 38% respectively). Improving our understanding of the association between SSB and artificially sweetened beverage (ASB) consumption and measures of adiposity can inform interventions targeting overweight and obesity. Aim: Examine the independent associations of daily SSB and ASB consumption with 6-year changes in weight, waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) in Hispanics in the US. Methods: We examined 7402 adults without diabetes aged 18-74yrs at baseline (2008-11) from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), a multi-site community-based cohort in the US. Baseline exposures of daily SSB and ASB consumption were estimated combining two 24-hour dietary recalls and a Food Propensity Questionnaire using the NCI method to correct for measurement error and account for episodically consumed foods. Complex survey linear regression models were used to examine associations of SSBs and ASBs with 6-year change in weight (kg), WC (cm) and BMI. Models were adjusted for age, gender, center, background, education, employment, marital status, cigarette use, physical activity, healthy eating index, depressive symptoms, non-SSB sugar intake, years in the US and years between visits. Interactions of SSB and ASB with gender and years lived in the U.S. (US born, >10yr, ≤10 yr) were assessed. Results: Overall, 3326 [male=49.7%] and 1244 [male=35.7%] reported daily intake of >2 servings of SSBs and ASBs respectively whereas 2203 [male=26.1%] and 4318 [male=41.2%] reported daily intake < 1 servings of SSBs and ASBs respectively. Daily energy intake (kcal) was higher among those with higher daily SSB consumption [means=14768 and 2008 kcals; <1 serving and >2 servings, respectively] and lower with higher ASB consumption (means=1836 and 1773 kcals; <1 serving and >2 servings, respectively). Daily sugar intake independent of SSBs was higher with daily consumption of both SSB and ASB (<1 serving vs. 2 servings). Non-significant associations were found for daily SSB and ASB intake and changes in adiposity for all measures in males and females. Interaction between years in the U.S. and ASB consumption were significant only for change in weight and BMI [p<0.05]. Among those consuming <1 serving per day of ASBs, there was a larger mean change in weight and BMI for those who spent < 10yr in the U.S. compared to U.S. born. Conclusion: In this diverse Hispanic cohort, 6-year changes in measures of adiposity are not associated with daily SSB or ASB consumption. Modification of the association of ASB and measures of adiposity by years in US suggests further exploration is needed to discern its relationship among Hispanics.

Introduction: Mounting evidence exists, linking positive emotion (e.g., joy) to favorable health outcomes. Little is known of the relationship between positive emotion and the American Heart Association defined concept of cardiovascular health ( CVH ), particularly in Hispanics/Latinos with chronic kidney disease ( CKD ), a group at high risk of cardiovascular mortality. Hypothesis: In Hispanics/Latinos with CKD, those with greater positive emotion will display more favorable CVH profiles. Methods: We analyzed data from adults ages 18-74 with stage 1-5 non-dialysis dependent CKD enrolled in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos in 2008-11. Positively worded items of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale were used to create a composite positive emotion score (range, 0-6; higher scores indicative of greater positive emotion). A composite overall CVH score was calculated using metrics of diet, body mass index, physical activity, cholesterol, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and smoking status. Each metric was defined as ideal, intermediate, or poor to compute an additive score ranging from 0-14; ideal metrics were also enumerated to compute an ideal CVH score, ranging from 0-7. Linear and logistic regression analyses were used to examine associations of positive emotion with CVH, after adjusting for relevant covariates. Results: Overall, 1,716 participants screened positive for CKD † . In multivariable-adjusted models, a higher positive emotion score was associated with higher overall and ideal CVH scores when modeling CVH as a continuous outcome, (overall CVH: β=0.11, 95% CI=0.01, 0.20; ideal CVH: β=0.06, 95% CI=0.01, 0.11) ( Table 1 ). A 1-unit increase in positive emotion was associated with 1.14 times higher odds of having > 4 (vs. <4) ideal CVH indicators. Conclusions: These findings provide preliminary evidence for an association between positive emotion and CVH in Hispanics/Latinos with CKD. Future studies should explore the mechanism through which emotion influence heart health.

Introduction: Evidence regarding the associations between accelerometer-measured moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and cardiovascular health (CVH) indicators among Hispanic/Latino adults are unavailable. Methods: Examined cross-sectional data from 12,008 Hispanic/Latino adults aged 18–74 years participating in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. Accelerometer-measured MVPA was assessed categorically and dichotomously per 2008 PA guidelines. Adverse and ideal CVH indicators were determined by standard cut-points for blood glucose, total cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), and smoking. A composite of low CV risk, defined as achieving all ideal CVH indicators, was included. Adjusted Poisson regression models and complex survey design methods were used for all analyses. Results: Compared to high MVPA, lower MVPA categories were associated with higher prevalence of all adverse CVH indicators, except hypertension, and with lower prevalence of low CV risk and ideal blood glucose, blood pressure, and BMI. Similarly, non-adherence to PA guidelines was associated with a higher prevalence of diabetes (16%), hypercholesterolemia (9%), obesity (28%), and smoking (9%); and lower prevalence of low CV risk (24%), ideal blood glucose (6%), ideal blood pressure (6%), and ideal BMI (22%). Conclusion: Overall, high accelerometer-measured MVPA and meeting PA guidelines were associated with favorable CVH in Hispanic/Latino adults.

Alternative Healthy Eating Index

Little evidence exists on diet quality- and sedentary time-related differences in body mass index (BMI) among immigrant and nonimmigrant Hispanics/Latinos with different lengths of U.S. residence. A total of 13,962 (80.2% foreign-born) Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) participants aged 18 to 60 from four U.S. cities (Bronx, NY; Chicago, IL; Miami, FL; and San Diego, CA) underwent standardized interviews and fasting blood tests. Diet quality was total Alternative Healthy Eating Index score. Sedentary time was number of <100 counts/minute over 3 to 6 days. BMI was examined using regression models adjusted for age, income, Hispanic/Latino background, HCHS/SOL site, and tobacco use. Two three-way interactions (diet or sedentary time length of residence sex) were tested to examine health behavior-related differences in BMI among immigrant and nonimmigrant males and females. The diet length of residence sex interaction was significant ( b = .005, 95% confidence interval [−.003, .008]). For a 10-unit Alternative Healthy Eating Index difference, the BMI difference was greater among immigrant females in the United States longer (0 years = .84 kg/m2; 10 years = 1.64 kg/m2). Diet-related obesity prevention efforts may start soon after migration, particularly for immigrant women.

Introduction: There is mounting evidence linking positive psychological functioning to restorative health processes and favorable medical outcomes. However, very little is known about the relationship between optimism--an indicator of psychological functioning--and the American Heart Association ( AHA ) defined concept of cardiovascular health ( CVH ), particularly in Hispanics/Latinos of diverse backgrounds. Hypothesis: Persons with greater optimism will have more favorable CVH profiles. Methods: We analyzed data from adults ages 18-75 that participated in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos ( HCHS/SOL ) Sociocultural Ancillary Study in 2010-11. Optimism was assessed using the Life-Orientation Test-Revised, with scores ranging from 6-24 and higher scores indicative of greater levels of optimism. AHA classification standards were used to derive a composite CVH score with subsequent grouping into categorizes of poor (0-7 points), intermediate (8-11 points), and ideal (12-14 points). Metrics considered when calculating the overall CVH score included diet, body mass index, physical activity, cholesterol, blood pressure, fasting glucose, and smoking status. Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine associations of optimism with ideal and intermediate CVH (poor CVH—ref. group), after adjusting for socio-demographic factors and depressive symptoms. Results: Among 4,960 participants with complete data, 9.2% were categorized as having ideal CVH. In multivariable-adjusted models, participants with moderate levels of optimism were more likely to have intermediate [OR = 1.37: 95%CI = 1.08, 1.74] and ideal [OR = 1.61: 95%CI = 1.04, 2.48] CVH when compared to the least optimistic group ( Table 1 ). Conclusions: The current study offers preliminary evidence for an association between optimism and CVH in a large heterogeneous group of Hispanic/Latino adults. Future studies should explore the concept of optimistic bias and whether exaggerated levels of optimism are detrimental to health.
