AB  - BACKGROUND: Consumption of low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) has increased in the US 
      and is associated with cardiometabolic risk. No data exist on LCS consumption in 
      South Asians. AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of LCS use 
      across socio-demographic characteristics, chronic disease status, and 
      cardiometabolic risk factors. METHODS: Cross-sectional analyses were conducted 
      using data from the Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in 
      America study (N = 892; 47% women; mean age = 55 (standard deviation = 9.4) y). 
      Chi-squared and ANOVA tests were used to compare LCS consumption across 
      socio-demographic characteristics and cardiometabolic risk factors. RESULTS: 
      Twenty-two percent of participants reported LCS use, with higher consumption 
      among men and those with longer residency in the US. LCS use was associated with 
      adiposity and higher odds of hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes. 
      CONCLUSIONS: LCS use is prevalent among South Asians, emphasizing the need for 
      long-term, prospective studies to investigate its role in incident 
      cardiometabolic risk in an already metabolically vulnerable population.
