title: [Randomized clinical trials on the sugar sweetened beverages on adiposity in olders than 13 y; systematic review].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  An association between consumption of sugar sweetened beverages (SSB) and metabolic diseases has been observed.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to analyze randomized clinical trials (RCT) of 18 or more weeks of intervention among ≥ 13 year old individuals, which examined the consumption of SSB on adiposity indicators.
  
  
  METHODS
  An electronic literature search was conducted in the PubMed database of RCT studies published up to April 10th, 2013. Term used for this search was "Sugar Sweetened Beverages".
  
  
  RESULTS
  Four studies were found. In one of the studies, after the reduction of SSB consumption, a small reduction of BMI was observed (p = 0.045). Another study showed that the reduction of 355 ml/day was associated with a weight loss of 0.7 kg (95% CI: 0.2-1.1, p = 0.01). In a different study, in the group consuming regular Coke, an increase in the visceral: abdominal subcutaneous fat ratio, was observed (p = 0.01). In another study, there were no differences on adiposity between the intervention and control groups.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results of this review indicate a trend toward an effect of the consumption of SSB on adiposity.
