“…In Colombia, few studies have assessed inequality based on nutritional variables and fruits and vegetables consumption. Nevertheless, the indices reported herein are lower than those of other studied nutritional variables based on the ENSIN-2010 49 and are dynamic development indicators that complement other structural indicators, including multidimensional poverty and education level. Canadian and British adults show a socioeconomic gradient in the frequency of fruits and vegetables consumption/day, with low-income and low-education groups consuming fruits and vegetables fewer times per day than high-income and high-education groups 19,21 .…”

The objective of this study was to estimate inequalities in the consumption of fruits and vegetables. A multilevel study was performed based on cross-sectional data of adults from 18 to 64 years of age (n = 5,217) and in geodemographic units (n = 33). The consumption of fruits and vegetables was estimated with a food frequency questionnaire administered as part of the 2010 Colombian National Nutrition Survey (ENSIN). Inequality indices for the consumption of whole fruits and fruit juice and for raw and cooked vegetables were estimated using data on wealth, food security, geographical area and monetary poverty. The prevalence of the consumption of cooked vegetables was 64.8% (95%CI: 59.2-70.4) among men and the prevalence of the consumption of fruit juice was 86.1% (95%CI: 82.4-89.8) among women. The frequency of the consumption of fruit juice was 1.03 times/day (95%CI: 0.93-1.14) among women. The prevalence and frequency fruits and vegetables consumption per day for the three socioeconomic variables considered in this study are higher according to the higher socioeconomic level (p < 0.05), except for the consumption frequency of whole fruits/day (p = 0.24). At the individual level, the Gini coefficient for frequency/day ranged from 0.51 to 0.62. At the ecological level, the Gini index for prevalence ranged from 0.04 to 0.14; and for frequency/day ranged from 0.03 to 0.11. The Colombian population does not meet fruits and vegetables consumption recommendations. Men and women favor the consumption of fruit juice over whole fruits. The inequality in vegetable consumption is clear, with men at a disadvantage. The poor eat fewer fruits and vegetables.

“…There is no reliable information on how rapidly the number of people with diabetes is increasing with the rapid increase in obesity, and we may expect it to increase in parallel with the degree of adiposity. Comparing data from the two ENSIN surveys (2005 and 2010) of people between 18 and 64 years of age, we see that the prevalence of overweight/obesity increased by 5.1%, while that of overweight and obesity separately increased 2.3% and 2.8%, respectively, over a 5-year period 8 .…”

“…Research on inequalities in health and, in this case, nutrition starts from an assumption that the most vulnerable - the poor, the displaced, or those belonging to minority groups - are disadvantaged and have lower health or nutrition conditions relative to the less disadvantaged [ 21 – 24 , 29 , 31 , 32 ]. While this is generally true, it is not always the case in Colombia when nutritional variables are studied.…”

“…In addition, as reported here, the results based on the indices of disparity, concentration, regression models and entropy show how the prevalence and average frequency of SB consumption is slightly higher in the population with a higher monetary income or, in the best case, show no inequality according to the level of monetary poverty in the geodemographic units. Another indirect examination of the inequality of SB consumption in the Colombian population also showed that there is no inequality in the classical sense; this finding was related to the pattern of snack food consumption [ 32 ]. The main measures taken to reduce the consumption of sugary drinks have focuses on SB, for example, by limiting bottle sizes [ 33 ] or regulating or even prohibiting the sale of SB at school stores to make consumption difficult [ 14 – 16 ].…”

BackgroundThis study characterizes the intake of sweetened beverages and establishes whether economic inequalities in their consumption exists.MethodsEcological study. Mixed methods using food frequency questionnaire and inequality indices. Based on the National Nutrition Survey, Colombia, 2010. The sweetened beverage intake of 17,514 subjects in 33 geodemographic units was estimated with a food frequency questionnaire and summarized. The calculation of inequality was based on the monetary poverty. The prevalence (yes/no) and frequency (times/day) of sweetened beverage consumption were estimated. Indices of economic inequality were calculated for both prevalence and frequency.ResultsThe prevalence of sweetened beverage consumption was between 79.2% (95% CI, 75.7 to 82.8) in adults and 88.5% (95% CI, 85.8 to 91.3) in minors. The frequency of consumption in terms of times/day, was between 0.20 (95% CI, 0.16 to 0.24) in adults and 0.40 (95% CI, 0.33 to 0.46) in minors. The Gini coefficient for the prevalence was close to zero, between 0.04 and 0.08; for the frequency, it was slightly higher, between 0.12 and 0.25.ConclusionsIt was established that there is no economic inequality in the consumption of sweetened beverages. Consumption taxes could be regressive.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12889-018-5037-1) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
