Abstract: CONTEXT: Abdominal adiposity has long been associated with excess caloric intake possibly resulting from increased psychosocial stress and associated cortisol dysfunction. However, the relationship of sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake specifically with cortisol variability and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is unknown.OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationships between SSB intake, VAT, and cortisol response in minority youth.DESIGN: A cross-sectional analysis.SETTING: The University of Southern California.PARTICIPANTS: 60 overweight/obese Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic adolescents ages 14-18years.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: VAT via Magnet Resonance Imaging (MRI), cortisol awakening response (CAR) via multiple salivary samples, and SSB intake via multiple 24-hour diet recalls.
