This study investigated the association between sucrose intake (self-reported and urinary biomarker) and incident diabetes, considering obesity's mediating role. Using data from a sub-cohort (n=2996) of the EPIC-Norfolk study, inverse associations were found between self-reported sucrose intake and diabetes incidence. However, urinary sucrose showed a positive association with incident diabetes. Mediation analysis revealed that BMI and waist circumference mediated 16% and 22% of this association, respectively. Further research using objective biomarkers is needed.
