People who regularly consume diet soda in later life are more likely to develop a pot belly ,
new re search suggests. The study shows the increasing diet soda intake is directly linked to
greater abdominal obesity in adults 65 years of age and older. Findings raise concerns
about the safety of chronic diet soda consumption, which may increase belly fat and
contribute to greater risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular dis eases, researchers
said.
Metabolic syndrome -a combination of risk factors that may lead to high blood pressure,
diabetes heart disease and stroke -is one o the results of the obesity epidemic In an effort
to combat obesity , many adults try to reduce sugar intake by turning to nonnutritive or
artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame saccharin, or sucralose.
“Our study seeks to fill the age gap by exploring the adverse health effects of diet soda
intake in individuals 65 years of age and older,“ said lead author Sharon Fowler, from the
University of Texas Health Science Centre at San Antonio. “The burden of metabolic
syndrome and cardio vascular disease, along with health care costs, is great in the ever-
increasing senior population,“ said Fowler.

The San Antonio Longitudina Study of Ageing (Salsa) enrolled 749
Mexicanand European-Americans aged 65 and older at the star of the study
(1992-96). Diet soda in take, waist circumference, height and weight were
measured at the onset, and at three follow-ups in , 2000-01, 2001-03, and
2003-04, for a total of 9.4 follow-up years.
Findings indicate that the increase in waist circumference among diet soda
drinkers, per follow up interval, was almost triple that among non-users:
2.11 cm versus 0.77 cm, respectively .
After adjustment for multiple potential confounders, interval waist
circumference increases were 0.77 cm for non-users, 1.76 cm for occasional
users and 3.04 cm for daily users. l This translates to waist circumference
increases of 0.80 inches for non-users, 1.83 inches for occasional users, and
3.16 inches for daily users over the total 9.4-year , Salsa follow-up period.
