ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To estimate the dietary contribution of taxed beverages and foods. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Using 24-hour diet recall data from the Ensanut 2012 (n=10 096), we estimated the contribution of the items which were taxed in 2014 to the total energy, added sugar, and saturated fat intakes in the entire sample and by sociodemographic characteristics.RESULTS:
The contributions for energy, added sugar, and saturated fat were found to be 5.5, 38.1, and 0.4%, respectively, for the taxed beverages, and 14.4, 23.8, and 21.4%, respectively, for the taxed foods. Children and adolescents (vs. adults), medium and high socioeconomic status (vs. low), urban area (vs. rural), and North and Center region (vs. South) had higher energy contribution of taxed beverages and foods. The energy contribution was similar between males and females.CONCLUSIONS:
These taxes covered an important proportion of Mexicans' diet and therefore have the potential to improve it meaningfully.
