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.

Abstract BACKGROUND High sodium and low potassium consumption are risk factors for hypertension. The objectives of this study were to describe usual daily intake of sodium and potassium among US Hispanics/Latinos of diverse background groups and estimate the proportion meeting guidelines for dietary sodium and potassium intake. METHODS We studied 16,171 participants of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), a diverse group of self-identified Hispanics/Latinos aged 18–74 years from 4 US communities. In 2008–2011, all HCHS/SOL participants underwent a standardized examination. Median usual daily intake of dietary sodium and potassium were derived from two 24-hour diet recalls; standard errors and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using boot strap methods. Meeting 2015 US Department of Agriculture guidelines was defined as an intake of <2,300 mg/day of sodium and ≥4,700 mg/day of potassium. RESULTS Among US Hispanics/Latinos, median usual daily intake of sodium was 2,574 mg (95% CI: 2,547, 2,600) among women and 3,747 mg (95% CI: 3,697, 3,796) among men. Median usual daily intake of potassium was 2,069 mg (95% CI: 2,046, 2,092) among women and 2,649 mg (95% CI: 2,615, 2,683) among men. Overall, only 21.3% (95% CI: 20.2%, 22.4%) of the US Hispanic/Latino population met 2015 recommendations for sodium and 0.6% (95% CI: 0.4%, 0.8%) for potassium. CONCLUSIONS Among US Hispanics/Latinos intake of sodium is too high and potassium too low. Strategies to reduce sodium intake while simultaneously increasing intake of potassium in this US population are warranted.

Background.The study examined the association of obesity with acculturation in a large and diverse sample of US Hispanic/Latino adults.Methods.The Hispanic Community Health Study (HCHS)/Study of Latinos (SOL) is a community-based cohort study of Hispanic/Latino adults aged 18–74 years (N=16,415) from four urban areas. Height and weight were directly measured using a standardized protocol. Acculturation was assessed by the Short Acculturation Scale for Hispanics (SASH). Other immigration related variables included place of birth, length of residency in the US, and age at immigration. Odds ratios were calculated to assess the association of overweight, moderate obesity, and extreme obesity (≥40 kg/m2) with acculturation and sociodemographic variables.Results.The prevalence of obesity was 42.4% for women and 36.5% for men and varied by field center and Hispanic/Latino background. The strongest predictor of moderate and extreme obesity was length of residency in mainland US. This association was consistent across Hispanic/Latino backgrounds. Acculturation was not significantly associated with obesity.Discussion.The burden of obesity is high among Hispanic/Latino adults. The study findings suggest that prolonged exposure to the environments in these communities, rather than acculturation, is an important risk factor for obesity in this population.

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: Hypertension (HTN) is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the US. Yet, among diverse US Hispanics/Latinos, one of the fastest growing ethnic minority populations in the US, incident rates of HTN are currently unknown. Objectives: To determine rates of incident HTN over six years among diverse US Hispanics/Latinos and evaluate whether rates differed by Hispanic/Latino background. Methods: The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos is an ongoing prospective population-based study of 16,415 diverse Hispanics/Latinos, ages 18-74 years, from four US communities sampled through a stratified multi-stage area probability design. Baseline examination was conducted in 2008-2011. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), as the average of three seated measurements, was measured at baseline and at an ongoing second visit (2014-2017). At each visit, HTN was defined as systolic BP ≥ 140 mmHg, diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg, or use of anti HTN medication. This analysis includes 7,258 adults who were free of HTN at baseline and attended the second study visit by August, 2 nd , 2017. Age adjusted, sex stratified, HTN incidence rates (IR) were calculated in person-years (PY) by Hispanic/Latino background. All analyses were weighted by nonresponse adjusted, trimmed, and calibrated sampling weights and took into account the complex survey design. Results: At baseline, age distributions were similar for men and women with: 40% age 18-34, 38% age 35-49, and 22% age 50 - 74; mean follow-up time was 5.7 years. Among 2,694 men, a total of 539 developed HTN for an overall age-adjusted IR of 25.7/1,000PY (95% CI: 22.8, 28.9). Among men, compared with Mexican background (IR: 20.5, 95% CI: 16.6, 25.2), the age adjusted IR of HTN per 1,000 PY was higher among Hispanics/Latinos of Dominican (IR: 39.2, 95% CI: 28.4, 54.0; p<0.01) and Cuban (IR: 30.6, 95% CI: 25.2, 37.2; p<0.01) background, but comparable among Central American (IR: 19.7, 95% CI: 14.1, 27.6; p=0.86), Puerto Rican (IR: 28.3, 95% CI: 20.5, 39.0; p=0.09), and South American (IR: 18.8, 95% CI: 11.5, 30.7; p=0.75) background. Among 4,564 women, a total of 855 developed HTN for an overall age-adjusted IR of 25.6/1,000PY (95% CI: 23.1, 28.3). Among women, compared with Mexican background (IR: 20.1, 95% CI: 17.0, 23.8), the age adjusted IR of HTN per 1,000 PY was higher among Hispanic/Latinos of Dominican (IR: 32.7, 95% CI: 24.3, 44.1; p<0.01), Cuban (IR: 26.8, 95% CI: 21.3, 33.6; p<0.05), and Puerto Rican (IR: 35.1, 95% CI: 27.4, 45.1; p<0.01) background, and comparable among Central American (IR: 23.2, 95% CI: 18.4, 29.3; p=0.31) and South American (IR: 24.3, 95% CI: 18.5, 31.8; p=0.24) background. Conclusions: Among a large sample of US Hispanics/Latinos free of HTN, age adjusted IRs of hypertension differed substantially by Hispanic/Latino background, being highest among those of Caribbean background.

Introduction: Recent studies suggest an association between healthy diet and incident chronic kidney disease (CKD), but these included few Hispanics/Latinos. We examined the relationship of diet quality with change in kidney function in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL). Given the bidirectional relationship between CKD and cardiovascular disease (CVD), we assessed prevalent CVD as a potential effect modifier. Methods: Data from HCHS/SOL Visits 1 (2008-2011) and 2 (2014-2017) were used. The Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI-2010), a measure of diet quality, was calculated from two 24-hour dietary recalls administered at Visit 1 and analyzed as quintiles (lowest to highest quality). Kidney function was assessed using CKD-EPI creat glomerular filtration rate estimating equation (eGFR), and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). Annualized change was computed as the difference in eGFR or UACR between visits divided by follow-up time in years. CVD was defined at Visit 1 as self-reported coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular events, peripheral artery disease or heart failure. Of 16415 HCHS/SOL participants, data from 9336 and 9209 persons with complete information on dietary intake, and change in eGFR and UACR, respectively, were analyzed using linear regression. Interaction between AHEI-2010 and CVD was explored. Analyses accounted for complex sampling design. Results: Average age was 41 years, 52% were women, and 22% had prevalent CVD. On average, eGFR declined by 0.67 mL/min/1.73 m 2 / year, and UACR increased by 2.0 mg/g/year. A significant interaction between diet quality and CVD was seen (p < 0.01). Lower AHEI-2010 quintiles were associated with greater decline in eGFR in a dose-response manner in persons without CVD (P-trend <0.01, Table). The association between diet quality and eGFR was stronger in those with CVD. AHEI-2010 was not associated with change in UACR. Conclusion: These findings have important implications for CKD prevention, especially for those with CVD.
