<![CDATA[The increase in consumption of Packaged Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) in adolescents is a major contributor to obesity and a metabolic risk factor leading to Type 2 Diabetes. The number of DMT2 sufferers in Aceh Besar in 2018 based on doctor's diagnosis was 1.7% compared to cases throughout Indonesia which was only 1.5%. And the prevalence data of DM based on doctor's diagnosis in the population above the age of 15 years reached 2.4% compared to Indonesia which was only 2.0% according to the profile data of the Aceh Besar Regency Health Office, Darul Imarah District, there were patients with DM reaching 1,153 people. This study aims to determine the relationship between consumption patterns of packaged sweetened beverages (sugar-sweetened beverages-SSBs) with the risk of type 2 diabetes in the Lambheu Darul Imarah Aceh Besar village community. This research method uses a cross-sectional design. The population was 1,438 people aged 18-30 years, with a sample size of 222 using a proportional random sampling technique. Data were collected through SSBs questionnaires and BMI measurements. Analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test to determine associations. Bivariate analysis showed a significant association between high SSBs consumption and an increased risk of T2DM, with an Odds Ratio of 3.12 (p<0.05). Conclusion: SSBs consumption is a behavioral risk factor strongly associated with an increased risk of T2DM in the community. The community needs to be provided with routine education, and education and training involving multiple sectors, to control community behavior.]]>
