💡 The link between brain connectivity and SSB intake underscores the importance of considering both neurobiological and socio-economic factors when addressing adolescent health. #AdolescentHealth #Neuroscience #PublicHealth #SSB #BrainConnectivity #SugarSweetenedBeverages #SSIB

From Grace Shearrer in the SSIB Special Issue: https://t.co/CyPWgPVyG2

A secondary analysis from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study sheds light on the brain and behavior behind sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake in teens:

[SSIB @SSIBsociety]

🧠 58 brain connections + sex were relevant to SSB intake.
🔑 Visual cortex ↔ right caudate predicted high SSB intake at year-2 follow-up.
👨‍🦱 Male sex, low socio-economic status, and BMI remain strong risk factors for high SSB consumption.
