Sugary drink consumption among children by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Status
American Journal of Preventive Medicine Nov 28, 2019
Koma JW, et al. - US children and adolescents were examined for trends in sugar-sweetened beverage consumption by Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participation status. From the 2003–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, researchers obtained dietary data from 15,645 participants (aged 2–19 years). Categorization of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participation was done as follows: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participant, income-eligible nonparticipant, lower-income–ineligible nonparticipant, and higher-income–ineligible nonparticipant. The analysis revealed a decline in sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among children and adolescents in all Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participation categories, but current levels remain high. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participants exhibited fewer favorable trends over time for consumption of sugar-sweetened beverage subtypes relative to other participant categories.
