A systematic review of the association between consumption of sugar ‐containing beverages and excess weight gain among children under age 12

ConclusionOur results support a statistically significant positive association between SCBs and total and central adiposity among children under age 12. This association is most consistent for total adiposity among children <5. Our results for 100 percent fruit juice only suggest differences by age, as most studies among those < 12 were negative but most among those <5 were positive.
