Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption among children and adolescents is steadily increasing in China, while the main taste of Chinese food is salty. The present study aimed to determine the relationships between SSB and total fluid consumption and dietary sodium and salt intake among children and adolescents in China. The data were obtained from a cross-sectional investigation in 2015. A total of 3958 participants were included. A 24-h dietary record for three consecutive days was collected to determine the SSB intake and food consumption across school days and rest days. After adjusting for age, sex, yearly household income, maternal education, intentional physical exercise, and instances of eating out in the last week, the dietary sodium intake was positively associated with the SSB consumption ( < 0.05), but salt was not. After stratifying by sex, grades, and puberty status, the associations between dietary sodium intake and SSB consumption were significant in girls, in grades 1-5 and before puberty ( < 0.05). Dietary sodium intake was positively associated with SSB consumption in Chinese children and adolescents, particularly in young children. A reduction of the sodium intake might help reduce SSB consumption among children and adolescents.
在中国，儿童和青少年的含糖饮料（SSB）消费稳步增加，而中餐的主要口味是咸的。本研究旨在确定 SSB 与总液体摄入量以及儿童和青少年膳食钠和盐摄入量之间的关系。数据来自 2015 年的一项横断面调查。共纳入 3958 名参与者。通过连续三天的 24 小时膳食记录，确定 SSB 摄入量以及在上学日和休息日的食物摄入量。在校正年龄、性别、年收入、母亲教育程度、有意体育锻炼以及上周外出就餐次数后，膳食钠摄入量与 SSB 消费呈正相关（<0.05），但盐摄入量没有。按性别、年级和青春期状态分层后，在女孩、1-5 年级和青春期前，膳食钠摄入量与 SSB 消费之间的关联具有统计学意义（<0.05）。膳食钠摄入量与中国儿童和青少年的 SSB 消费呈正相关，尤其是在幼儿中。减少钠的摄入量可能有助于减少儿童和青少年对 SSB 的消费。
