The objective of this study was to describe the evolution of household purchase of added sugars and their main food sources in Brazil. Nationally representative data from the Household Budget Surveys from 2002-2003, 2008-2009 and 2017-2018 were used. Energy and added sugar quantities were estimated by means of per capita food quantities. The items considered as food sources were: (1) table sugar: refined sugar and other energetic sweeteners and (2) processed and ultra-processed foods with added sugar: soft drinks; other drinks; sweets, candies and chocolates; cookies; cakes and pies and other foods. The parameters estimated were: mean share of added sugar in total energy and, for food sources, the share of added sugar in total sugar intake and the impact of variations in sources of added sugar between 2008 and 2017. There was a regular share of energy from added sugar to total energy intake between 2002 and 2008 but a reduced share in 2017. Between 2008 and 2017, there was a decrease in the share of refined sugar and other sweeteners and soft drinks to total sugar intake and an increased share of all other items. High-income households had a lower share of refined sugar and other energetic sweeteners, but a higher share of soft drinks, sweets, candies and chocolates. The decrease in added sugar in 2017 was mainly due to the lower share of soft drinks. In conclusion, Brazilians' total intake of added sugar was decreased, mostly owing to reduced consumption of sugar from soft drinks.
本研究旨在描述巴西家庭购买添加糖及其主要食物来源的演变情况。使用了 2002-2003 年、2008-2009 年和 2017-2018 年家庭预算调查的全国代表性数据。通过人均食物量来估算能量和添加糖的数量。所考虑的食物来源包括：（1）白砂糖：精制糖和其他能量甜味剂；（2）添加糖的加工和超加工食品：软饮料；其他饮料；甜食、糖果和巧克力；饼干；蛋糕和馅饼以及其他食品。估计的参数是：添加糖在总能量中的平均份额，以及对于食物来源，添加糖在总糖摄入量中的份额和 2008 年至 2017 年之间添加糖来源变化的影响。2002 年至 2008 年，添加糖在总能量摄入中的份额稳定，但 2017 年的份额有所减少。2008 年至 2017 年，精制糖和其他甜味剂以及软饮料在总糖摄入量中的份额减少，而所有其他项目的份额增加。高收入家庭中精制糖和其他能量甜味剂的份额较低，但软饮料、甜食、糖果和巧克力的份额较高。2017 年添加糖的减少主要归因于软饮料份额的降低。总之，巴西人添加糖的总摄入量减少，主要是由于减少了软饮料中糖的消耗。
