Overview

Cross-sectional study shows 25.4% prevalence of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption in children, indicating key determinants such as wealth and media exposure.

Key Points

To determine the prevalence and factors associated with sugar-sweetened beverage and snack consumption in children aged 6-23 months in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Cross-sectional study design using Demographic Health Survey data from 2019 to 2023
Sample size included 23,145 children aged 6-23 months
Multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression analysis conducted to identify factors
Statistical significance determined by p-value < 0.05 and adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals.
Pooled prevalence of sugar-sweetened beverage or snack consumption was 25.40% (95% CI: 24.84% − 25.96%)
Factors positively associated included older child age, media exposure, and wealth status
Breastfeeding, older age at first birth, and rural residence negatively associated with consumption.
