ABSTRACT
(1) Background:
Data about early life beverage intake patterns is sparse. We describe beverage patterns among infants and young children from the Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) 2016. (2)Methods:
FITS 2016 is a cross-sectional survey of U.S. parents/caregivers of children 0â»47.9 months (n = 3235). Food and beverage intakes were collected by 24-h dietary recalls to describe beverage consumption patterns including a) prevalence of consumption, per capita and per consumer intake, b) contribution to intake of calories and key nutrients, and c) prevalence according to eating occasions. (3)Results:
Breast milk and infant formula were commonly consumed among <12-month-olds. Among 12â»23.9-month-olds, the most commonly consumed beverage was whole milk (67% consuming), followed by 100% juice (50% consuming). Plain drinking water was consumed by 70% of 12â»23.9-month-olds and 78% of 24â»47.9-month-olds. Among 12â»47.9-month-olds, milks provided more energy and key nutrients than all other beverages. Across eating occasions, sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption, especially in the form of fruit-flavored drinks, was higher among 24â»47.9 compared to 12â»23.9-month-olds. Only 23â»32% of ≥12-month-olds consumed milk or water at lunch or dinner. (4)Conclusions:
Opportunities exist to improve beverage patterns. Future interventions may benefit from focusing on timely introduction of age-appropriate beverages and reducing consumption of SSBs.Palavras-chave
