Mean sugar intake in South Africa has fallen in Black rural groups and remained more or less constant for their urban counterparts; for Indian groups it has risen, but fallen in White groups. The amounts of sugar in mean snack/sweet intakes have not shown the same degree of fall and have remained relatively constant in all but Indian groups where there has been a definite fall in consumption. Caries prevalences (percentages of children with caries) have risen in all but White groups. It can be concluded that quantitative changes in sugar consumption and caries prevalences do not parallel each other.
南非黑人农村群体的平均糖摄入量有所下降,而城市黑人的平均糖摄入量大致保持不变;印度人群体的平均糖摄入量有所上升,而白人群体的则有所下降。平均零食/甜食摄入量中的糖含量下降幅度没有那么大,除印度人群体的糖摄入量有明显下降外,其他群体的这一数值都相对稳定。除白人群体外,其他群体的龋齿患病率(患龋齿儿童的百分比)都有所上升。可以得出结论,糖消费量的定量变化与龋齿患病率并不平行。
