Abstract

BACKGROUND

Excess consumption of free sugar (FS) increases the risk of dental caries and unhealthy weight gain. However, the contribution of snacks and beverages to young children's FS intake is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to determine FS intake from snacks and beverages among preschool-aged Canadian children.

METHODS

This cross-sectional study examined baseline data from 267 children 1.5 to 5 y enrolled in the Guelph Family Health Study. Dietary assessment was completed over a 24-h period using ASA24-Canada-2016 to, 1) estimate the proportion of children whose FS intake from snacks and beverages consumed exceeded 5% total energy intake (TE) and 10% TE, and 2) identify the top snack and beverage sources of FS.

RESULTS

FS contributed 10.6 ± 6.9% TE (mean ± SD). 30 and 8% of children consumed ≥ 5% TE and ≥ 10% TE from snack FS, respectively. Furthermore, 17 and 7% of children consumed ≥ 5% TE and ≥ 10% TE from beverages FS, respectively. Snacks and beverages accounted for 49 ± 30.9% of FS energy. Top snack sources of FS (% children, children's %TE from FS) were bakery products (55%, 2.4%), candy and sweet condiments (21%, 3.0%), and sugar-containing beverages (20%, 4.1%). Top sugar-containing beverage sources of FS (48%, 5.3%) were 100% fruit juice (22%, 4.6%) and flavored milk (11%, 3.1%).

CONCLUSIONS

Snacks and beverages contributed nearly half of FS intake among a sample of young children in Canada. Thus, long-term monitoring of snacking behavior and consumption of FS is warranted. These findings may help inform nutritional strategies and public policies to improve diet quality and FS intake in preschool-aged children.

摘要

背景

游离糖（FS）摄入过量会增加患龋齿和体重不健康增加的风险。然而，零食和饮料对幼儿FS摄入量的影响尚不清楚。本研究的目的是确定加拿大学龄前儿童零食和饮料中的FS摄入量。

方法

这项横断面研究检查了圭尔夫家庭健康研究中267名1.5至5岁儿童的基线数据。使用2016年加拿大ASA24在24小时内完成饮食评估，以：1）估计零食和饮料中FS摄入量超过总能量摄入量（TE）5%和10%的儿童比例，以及2）确定FS的主要零食和饮料来源。

结果

FS占TE的10.6±6.9%（平均值±标准差）。分别有30%和8%的儿童零食FS摄入量≥5%TE和≥10%TE。此外，分别有17%和7%的儿童饮料FS摄入量≥5%TE和≥10%TE。零食和饮料占FS能量的49±30.9%。FS的主要零食来源（儿童比例，儿童FS占TE的比例）是烘焙食品（55%，2.4%）、糖果和甜味调味品（21%，3.0%）以及含糖饮料（20%，4.1%）。FS的主要含糖饮料来源（48%，5.3%）是100%果汁（22%，4.6%）和调味牛奶（11%，3.1%）。
