“…Compared with higher-SES households, lower-SES households had greater purchases of less-healthy beverages in 2012. The above-mentioned result is consistent with that has been observed in the highest-income countries, including the United States and several European countries, where the highest intake of SSBs is observed in lower-SES groups (45)(46)(47), whereas in low-and middle-income countries, such as India, Brazil, and Sri Lanka, the greatest intakes of SSBs are observed in populations with higher SES (48)(49)(50).

Causes of overweight and obesity have been linked to the consumption of high caloric food and sugar-sweetened beverages, of which sales of sugar-sweetened beverages are increasing worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries as a result of heavy marketing [ 38 , 39 ].
