Abstract
Objectives
Frequent sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake is associated with weight gain in women, and pre-pregnancy overweight and excessive gestational weight gain are linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes. SSB intake information for women of reproductive age (WRA) is limited. We described SSB intake among non-pregnant and pregnant WRA and identified correlates of daily intake.
Methods
Using 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, we analyzed SSB intake (regular soda, fruit drinks, sweet tea, sports/energy drinks) for 11,321 non-pregnant and 392 pregnant WRA (18–49 years) in 12 states and D.C. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for daily (≥ 1 time/day) SSB intake (reference: < 1 time/day) by characteristics were estimated using multivariable logistic regression.
Results
Overall, 27.3% of non-pregnant and 21.9% of pregnant women reported consuming SSBs ≥ 1 time/day; 12.6% and 9.7%, respectively, consumed SSBs ≥ 2 times/day. Among non-pregnant women, odds of daily SSB intake were higher for women who were non-Hispanic black (aOR 2.04, 95% CI 1.55–2.69) vs. non-Hispanic white; had ≤ high school education (aOR 2.79, CI 2.26–3.44) or some college (aOR 1.85, CI 1.50–2.27) vs. college graduates; lived in nonmetropolitan counties (aOR 1.35, CI 1.11–1.63) vs. metropolitan; had no physical activity (aOR 1.72, CI 1.43–2.07) vs. some; were former (aOR 1.51, CI 1.17–1.94) or current (aOR 3.48, CI 2.82–4.28) smokers vs. nonsmokers. Among pregnant women, those not married had higher odds (aOR 2.81, CI 1.05–7.51) for daily SSB intake than married women.
Conclusions
One in five pregnant women and one in four non-pregnant women of reproductive age consumed SSBs at least once per day. Sociodemographic and behavioral correlates of daily SSB intake were identified.
