  • Lack of in-home piped water and reported consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages among adults in rural Alaska

    Open AccessEmily Mosites, Sara Seeman et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2020

    Objective: To assess whether a community water service is associated with the frequency of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) consumption, obesity, or perceived health status in rural Alaska. Design: We examined the cross-sectional associations between community water access and frequency of SSB consumption, body mass index categories, and perceived health status using data from the 2013 and 2015 Alaska Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BR…
