Characterizing beverage patterns among Alaska Natives living in rural, remote communities: the CANHR study
Caloric beverages, particularly sugar‐sweetened beverages (SSBs), have gained attention as a risk factor for obesity and its sequelae. The prevalence of obesity among AI/ANs exceeds the rates for all other ethnic groups, however little is known about beverage patterns in this group. Here, we charact...
