“…Analyses of the main components of food consumption in 12 countries show that ultra-processed foods such as fast foods, ice cream, fried foods, fries, and sugary drinks more strongly characterize unhealthy eating patterns among children aged 9-11 years 27 . Recent data from Colombia on the frequency of consumption of sugary drinks show that 85.3% of the children aged 5-17 years consume these drinks 0.71 time per day 28 . The percentage contribution of sugary drinks to daily energy was not available, but frequency trends indicate a very present and worrying consumption pattern among children and adolescents.…”

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the consumption of ultra-processed foods in the Colombian population across sociodemographic factors. METHODS: We used data from the 2005 National Survey of the Nutritional Status in Colombia. Food consumption was assessed using a 24-hour food recall in 38,643 individuals. The food items were classified according to the degree and extent of industrial processing using the NOVA classification. RESULTS: The mean calorie contribution of ultra-processed foods ranged from 0.2% in the lowest quintile of consumers to 41.1% in the highest quintile of consumers. The greatest increases were due to the consumption of industrialized breads, sweet and savory snacks, sugary drinks, processed meats, and confectionery. No major differences were found in the consumption of ultra-processed foods between men and women. We observed significant differences by age, socioeconomic status, area of residence, and geographic region. Children and adolescents showed a higher intake of ultra-processed foods, almost double that of participants over 50 years of age. Children consumed significantly more snacks, confectionery products, processed cereals, milk-based drinks and desserts. Participants over 50 years consumed fewer products from these sub-groups of ultra-processed foods but had the highest consumption of industrialized bread. Individuals from urban areas, those with high socioeconomic status, participants residing in the Bogotá region had 1.5 to 1.7 times higher calorie intake from ultra-processed foods compared with those from a lower socioeconomic status and those residing in rural regions. CONCLUSION: In Colombia, industrialized bread is the ultra-processed product that is most easily assimilated into the traditional diet, along with snacks and sugary drinks. Children and adolescents residing in urban areas and households with greater purchasing power have some of the highest intakes of ultra-processed foods in the country.

“…The above discussion is beyond the scope of this study. The greatest decrease was observed in the 18- to 24-year-old age group, which may have occurred because adolescents have the highest consumption of soda and snacks in general [39, 40]. In addition, 18 to 24 years is the age group where messages and media actions have traditionally focused [41, 42].…”

BackgroundA common recommendation is to reduce the consumption of snack food and replace this consumption with nutrient-dense foods. The objective was to assess whether in Colombian children and adults there were changes in the consumption of the snack dietary pattern (SP) in the 5 years 2010–2015. In addition, this study aimed to establish the relationship between the SP and some biological, socioeconomic, and geographic variables in Colombia, South America.MethodsBased on a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) applied both in 2010 and 2015 in the national nutritional situation surveys, the adherence to the snack consumption pattern was established through factor analysis. The change in the adherence of consumption to the SP was established for the five-year period [2015 minus 2010], using multiple linear regression models. Crude and adjusted differences were estimated by the following covariables: sex, age, marital status, food security, wealth index, ethnicity, education of the head of the household, area and region. In total, 37,981 subjects were analyzed. In 2010, 10,150 children (5 to 17 years old) and 5145 adults (18 to 64 years old) were included, and in 2015, 13,243 children and 9443 adults.ResultsIn children, the adjusted difference in the adherence to SP was − 0.37 (95% CI: − 0.42, − 0.32). In adults, the adjusted difference in the adherence to SP was − 0.27 (95% CI: − 0.31, − 0.24). In all categories of covariables, consumption decreased, for all p < 0.0001. In children, the decrease in consumption was inversely associated with height-age. The decrease was smaller at the extremes of the BMI distribution, Z < -2 and Z > 2. The decrease in consumption was directly associated with the level of food security in the home and the wealth index. In adults, the decrease in consumption was inversely related to age and was directly related to the level of food security of the household, wealth index, and education level. The BMI decrease was greater in subjects with 18.5–24.9. In subjects with 30+, it was lower than in subjects with 25.0–29.9.ConclusionsIn the 5 years 2010–2015, snack consumption is decreasing. The region, the richest subjects, those with adequate BMI, and in households with more educated heads of household, achieved a greater decrease in SP.

“…Herran et al 8 developed a representative study of the Colombian population, which involved the participation of 50,670 families with children (3,842) and adolescents (6,345), aged 5 to 17 years. To assess the consumption of SSB, a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used, which evaluated the frequency of consumption of 30 foods or food groups in the 30 days prior to the survey.…”

“…Furthermore, this study also observed that food security, family education, and the financial condition index were directly linked to the consumption of sugary drinks. 8 Data from a meta-analysis performed by Farhangi et al in 2020, 9 aimed at evaluating the effects of SSB intake on blood pressure in children and adolescents, revealed that a high consumption of SSB was associated with an increase of 1.67 mmHg in SSB in children and adolescents (WMD: 1.67; p<0.001).…”
