We investigated associations between body mass index ( BMI) and intake of non- milk extrinsic sugars ( NMES) and caloric soft drinks using weighed 7- day food records, nutrient intakes, BMI measurements and 7- day physical activity ( PA) diaries from the UK National Dietary and Nutritional Survey of Young People ( n = 1,294 aged 7 - 18 years). NMES and caloric soft drinks ( excluding 100% fruit juice) were quantified by their contribution to energy intake. BMI z- scores were calculated from UK reference curves and International Obesity Task Force ( IOTF) cut- off values were used to define overweight. The BMI z- score was weakly inversely correlated with percentage energy from NMES after adjustment for under- reporting and dieting ( r = - 0.06, P = 0.03). The percentage of energy from soft drinks was not associated with the BMI z- score or PA. After excluding under-reporters and dieters, the heaviest children ( top quintile: Q5 of BMI z- scores) consumed more total energy ( + 1,220 kJ/ day) than those in the lowest quintile ( Q1), but only 60 kJ ( 5%) was from soft drinks. In logistic regression ( adjusted for age and gender, under- reporting, and dieting), overweight was positively associated with energy intake ( MJ) ( odds ratio [ OR] = 1.58, confidence interval [ CI] = 1.42 - 1.77) and sedentary activity ( h) ( OR = 1.11, CI = 1.01 - 1.23), and inversely associated with moderate/ vigorous activity ( h) ( OR = 0.71, CI = 0.58 - 0.86). In the macro-nutrient model, high fat and protein intake ( top tertile vs lowest tertile, g/ day) were positively associated with overweight ( OR > 2.5, PB < 0.001) while starch had less impact ( OR = 1.60, CI = 1.0 - 2.55, PB < 0.05). Top tertile intakes of caloric soft drinks were weakly associated with overweight ( OR = 1.39, CI = 0.96 = 2.0, P= 0.08), while other sources of NMES showed no association ( OR = 0.81, CI = 0.52 - 1.27, P = 0.4). Risk associated with caloric soft drinks appeared non- linear with an increase in odds only for very high consumers ( top quintile, mean 870 kJ/ day; OR = 1.67, CI = 1.04 - 2.66, P = 0.03). These data are not consistent with any specific role for NMES or caloric soft drinks in obesity among British children and adolescents, but point instead to a general role of overeating and physical inactivity. Evidence of successful interventions is urgently needed but these must use reliable measurements of exposure ( diet and PA) and outcome ( BMI z- score, body fat, waist circumference) and have a sufficient timescale.
