- Abstract
Objective. To analyse the association between sugar contribution and overweight and obesity (Ow+Ob) among school-age and adolescent population. Materials and methods. Status of Ow+Ob according to World Health Organization growth patterns was obtained for a sample of 2 844 school-age and adolescent (5 to 19 years old) individuals, as well as total, added and intrinsic sugars (%kcal/day) gathered by a food intake frequency questionnaire. Adjusted probability of suffering Ow+Ob was estimated through logistic regression models with interaction between sugars intake and welfare conditions. Results. Ow+Ob prevalence was 41% in 5-19y population, also 60% exceeded the 10% recommended limit for energy coming from added sugars. Sweetened beverages group had the largest contribution to this high intake. The probability of present Ow+Ob for those with higher sugar consumption was significatively greater in those belonging to the high welfare index (0.59) when compared with those from the lower one (0.30). Conclusions. Ow+Ob and added sugars consumption are both high in the 5 to 19y population in Mexico. Strengthening, focalization and diversification of the strategies aimed to cope with these problems is required considering the sociodemographic difference of the population.
