This study examined the link between worksite environmental supports for nutrition behaviours and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption and offers insight into potential intervention points for reducing SSB consumption and combatting overweight and obesity.
Perceived worksite supports for healthy nutrition and self-reported SSB consumption were analysed for 2,015 working adults in the state of Missouri using a subset of questions from the Supports at Home and Work for Maintaining Energy Balance (SHOW-ME) study.
Employees' use of vending facilities and the availability of water coolers/water bottles was significantly associated with increased SSB consumption, while use of cafeterias was significantly associated with decreased SSB consumption. Symbols or signs to identify healthy alternatives were significantly associated with sports drink consumption.
This study supports previous work indicating the worksite as a necessary environment for nutrition interventions. When choices (vending and cafeteria) are provided, employees report making healthier decisions. For worksites without cafeterias, alternatives should be explored including mobile food trucks and farmer's markets.
本研究探讨了工作场所对营养行为的环境支持与含糖饮料（SSB）消费之间的联系，并深入了解减少SSB消费以及对抗超重和肥胖的潜在干预点。
使用“在家和工作中维持能量平衡的支持”（SHOW-ME）研究中的一组问题，对密苏里州的2015名在职成年人进行了工作场所对健康营养的感知支持以及自我报告的SSB消费情况分析。
员工对自动售货机设施的使用以及饮水机/水瓶的可用性与SSB消费增加显著相关，而使用自助餐厅则与SSB消费减少显著相关。识别健康替代品的符号或标志与运动饮料消费显著相关。
本研究支持先前的研究成果，表明工作场所是营养干预的必要环境。当提供选择（自动售货机和自助餐厅）时，员工报告做出了更健康的决定。对于没有自助餐厅的工作场所，应探索其他替代方案，包括流动食品车和农贸市场。
