Abstract: Objective To analyze the trend of disease burden and economic risk caused by excessive intake of sugary beverages among adults in China,and provide policy basis for promoting high-quality development of human capital in China. Methods Based on the global disease burden research database,analyze the disease burden and potential economic risks caused by excessive consumption of sugary beverages in China. Results From 1990 to 2019,the total number of deaths caused by excessive intake of sugar-sweetened beverages in our country increased from 23 975 to 46 634,and the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) increased from 0.647 8 million person-years to 1.016 2 million person-years. In addition,when the mortality rate caused by excessive intake of sugar-sweetened beverages reaches 1‰,the corresponding cost would increase from 8.7 billion yuan to 362.331 billion yuan. Conclusion From 1990 to 2019,the disease burden attributable to excessive intake of sugar-sweetened beverages in China has shown an upward trend,posing certain potential risks to social and economic development. Prevention efforts should be strengthened,public health awareness should be enhanced,healthy eating habits should be cultivated,and efforts should be made to explore the establishment of a consumption tax on sugar-sweetened beverages based on a specific quantity-based assessment method.
