Urinary Sugars—A Biomarker of Total Sugars Intake

摘要: Measurement error in self-reported sugars intake may explain the lack of consistency epidemiologic evidence on association between and disease risk. This review describes development applications a biomarker intake, informs its future use recommends directions for research. Recently, 24 h urinary sucrose fructose were suggested as predictive total based findings from three highly controlled feeding studies conducted United Kingdom. From this work, calibration equation that provides an unbiased measure was generated has since been used two US-based with free-living individuals to assess measurement dietary self-reports develop regression equations could be diet-disease analyses. Further include surrogate studies. Although great potential exhibits favorable characteristics, available data come few limited sample sizes UK. Larger different populations are needed further explore characteristics stability biases, compare performance, generate unique, or population-specific applied A validated is critical informed interpretation sugars-disease
