In 2020, around 2.2 million new T2D cases and 1.2 million new CVD cases worldwide were attributed to SSBs, indicating a substantial impact, especially higher in men, younger individuals, and urban populations.
The study also revealed that Latin America, the Caribbean, and sub-Saharan Africa have the highest rates of SSB-related health burdens, emphasizing the need for targeted policies to address this public health concern.
