 This study examined the association between sugar intake and dietary patterns among Finnish adults. It found that young age was associated with higher added sugar intake and lower naturally occurring sugar intake, which was accompanied by lower fiber intake and higher wheat consumption. In contrast, older individuals had the opposite pattern, with higher naturally occurring sugar intake and lower added sugar intake, which was accompanied by higher fruit and vegetable consumption, and lower butter consumption. These findings suggest that different patterns of sugar intake may exist depending on age, with younger individuals having higher added sugar intake and lower naturally occurring sugar intake, while older individuals have the opposite pattern.
