This study examined trends in beverage consumption for children age 1 to 19 years for three 2-year periods between 1987 and 1998. Intakes were collected from a nationally representative sample of households. A 2-week diary by the National Family Opinion Research/Beverage Unit's Share of Intake Panel during 1987-88, 199293, and 1997-98 was used to collect these intakes. During these periods, the consumption of carbonated soft drinks decreased significantly for children age 1 to 5 years--83.5, 78.2, and 72.1 percent, respectively, whereas consumption of milk remained stable for all groups, and consumption of lowfat milk became more prevalent than consumption of whole milk. The quantity of milk consumed increased for children age 1 to 5 years (11.6 to 13.5 oz/day), while the quantity of carbonated soft drinks consumed decreased (5.2 to 3.7 oz/day). The quantity of fruit drinks increased for all age groups. This study is useful to those who are developing strategies to improve the overall quality of children's diets. Further research is needed to investigate the effect children's beverage consumption has on their health and to evaluate the effect of beverage consumption on total dietary intake.Citation DetailsTitle: Trends in children's consumption of beverages: 1987 to 1998.Author: Yi Kyung ParkPublication: Family Economics and Nutrition Review (Refereed)Date: March 22, 2002Publisher: Superintendent Of DocumentsVolume: 14 Issue: 2 Page: 69(11)Distributed by Thomson Gale |
