Drinking plain water instead of sugar-sweetened beverages is one approach for reducing energy intake. Only a few studies have examined characteristics associated with plain water intake among US youth. The purpose of our cross-sectional study was to examine associations of demographic characteristics, weight status, dietary habits, and other behavior-related factors with plain water intake among a nationally representative sample of US high school students. The 2010 National Youth Physical Activity and Nutrition Study data for 11,049 students in grades 9 through 12 were used. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs for variables associated with low water intake (<3 times/day). Nationwide, 54% of high school students reported drinking water <3 times/day.

Being obese was significantly associated with reduced odds for low water intake (OR 0.7). The findings of these significant associations of low water intake with poor diet quality, frequent fast-food restaurant use, and physical inactivity may be used to tailor intervention efforts to increase plain water intake as a substitute for sugar-sweetened beverages and to promote healthy lifestyles.

“…From a life-course approach, a key developmental period for targeted obesity prevention efforts regarding beverage intake may be among older children, since secular trend data indicate that the largest increases in SSB consumption have occurred in this age group (20) . The seminal work by Ludwig et al provided the first evidence supporting the relationship between SSB intake and excess weight gain in late childhood (23) , replicated in some studies (15,(24)(25)(26)(27)(28) , but not others (29)(30)(31) . Methodological differences including small sample sizes, lack of repeated measures, consideration of dietary reporting errors and adjustment for total energy may partly account for these inconsistent results.…”

“…Few studies in older children have obtained WC measurements (14)(15)(16) . One prospective observational study of 170 girls found that greater consumption of SSB at age 5 years was related to higher WC at each biennial follow-up until the age of 15 years (15) . Conversely, in a trial of thirty-two girls (11-15 years) on a 12-week diet supplying 6276 kJ/d (1500 kcal/d), soda consumption was not related to changes in either BMI or WC (16) .…”

Objective: To determine the prospective relationship between changes in sugarsweetened beverage (SSB) intake and central adiposity in older children. Design: Dietary intakes of children were obtained by 3 d food records at ages 10 and 13 years. Waist circumference (WC) and weight and height to determine BMI were measured at 10 and 13 years and total body fat mass (TBFM) at 13 years by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Analyses were conducted using multivariable linear regression. Reporting errors were measured and participants were categorized as under-, plausible and over-reporters of dietary intakes. Setting: Community-based British cohort of children participating in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Results: Among 2455 older children, increased SSB consumption from ages 10 to 13 years was associated with higher WC (standardized β = 0·020, P = 0·19), BMI (β = 0·028, P = 0·03) and TBFM (β = 0·017, P = 0·20) at 13 years. Effects were strengthened among plausible dietary reporters (n 1059): WC (β = 0·097, P < 0·001), BMI (β = 0·074, P < 0·001) and TBFM (β = 0·065, P = 0·003). The association between change in SSB and WC was weakened, but remained statistically significant after accounting for BMI (β = 0·042, P = 0·02) and TBFM (β = 0·048, P = 0·01). Conclusions: Higher consumption of SSB from ages 10 to 13 years was associated with a larger WC at age 13 years independent of differences in total adiposity. Accounting for dietary reporting errors strengthened associations. Our findings further support recommendations to limit intakes of SSB to reduce excess weight gain in children and suggest that SSB have an additional deleterious effect on central adiposity. Keywords Sugar-sweetened beverages Waist circumference Children ObesityObesity is a primary threat to public health. Childhood obesity strongly tracks with age (1) , raising the risk of mortality, CVD, certain cancers and osteoarthritis, as well as other conditions in adulthood (2)(3)(4)(5) . In adults a key driver of the metabolic consequences of excess fat is that located abdominally, or central adiposity, which predicts mortality and CVD independent of BMI (5)(6)(7) . Currently 32 % and 17 % of children and adolescents in the USA are overweight and obese, respectively (8) . Moreover, waist circumference (WC) of children has increased over time and some evidence suggests that the rate of increase in WC has outpaced that of BMI (9)(10)(11)(12)(13) . Therefore, it is paramount to identify modifiable risk factors of excess total and abdominal weight gain in children to help prevent or reverse obesity and its related co-morbidities both in childhood and later life.To date it remains unclear as to whether intake of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) has specific effects

“…In the United States, and other industrialized countries, low socioeconomic status (LSES) children are more likely to be obese than are high socioeconomic status children (Kleiser et al, 2009;O'Dea and Dibley, 2010). Childhood obesity is associated with elevated risk for chronic conditions such as cardiovascular risk, hypertension and diabetes (Short et al, 2009;Flynn, 2010;Hong, 2010), respiratory diseases (Fiorito et al, 2009) and musculoskeletal problems (Krul et al, 2009). These chronic health conditions increase with time and are higher among males (Van Cleave et al, 2010).…”

Objectives: To identify modifiable risk factors for obesity among low socioeconomic status (LSES) children. Methods: Cross-sectional data were obtained from 238 4-7-year-old children and 224 mothers from LSES preschools. Anthropometric measurements were obtained; mothers were interviewed about sociodemographic characteristics, health behaviors, perceptions and beliefs. Results: The combined prevalence of overweight and obesity (OWOB) among children was 29.8% based on the new World Health Organization (WHO) growth standard. Prevalence of OWOB (body mass index X25) among mothers was 51.8%. Mean age, sleeping hours, gender distribution and poverty level were similar between normal and OWOB children. Over 82% of mothers underestimated their child's weight status. Of the 62 OWOB children, 74.2% were perceived by their mothers as having 'normal weight' (NW) and 8% were perceived as 'thin'. Mothers perceived 67 out of 158 NW children (42.4%) as 'thin' (Po0.001). Mediation analysis indicated that 10% of the effect of maternal underestimation on child's OWOB may be mediated through child's daily sedentary hours (P ¼ 0.06). In a multivariable logistic-regression analysis controlling for maternal obesity, knowledge regarding breakfast's importance and child's daily sedentary hours, maternal underestimation of the child's weight status (odds ratio ¼ 7.33; 95% confidence interval (CI):2.41-22.37; Po0.0001) and parental smoking (odds ratio ¼ 3.25; 95% CI: 1.26-8.40; P ¼ 0.015) were the only significant factors associated with OWOB in LSES children. Conclusions: Maternal perception of child's weight status and parental smoking are associated with childhood OWOB among LSES children. These parameters can help identify children at risk for obesity. Maternal perception may be amenable to intervention.
