The burden of cardiovascular disease in adolescents in China and globally due to sugar-sweetened beverage consumption from 1990 to 2021: results from the global burden of disease study 2021
This study reveals a pronounced disparity in the burden of SSB-attributable cardiovascular disease among youth aged 15-39 years, with China experiencing a worsening trend in sharp contrast to the overall global decline. To avert a potential youth CVD crisis, it is imperative that economic transformation in China is accompanied by comprehensive preventive health policies.
