“…Briefel et al [63], also found that being non-Hispanic African American was associated with greater caloric intake of sweetened beverages in high school, by 42 Kcal, and that being Hispanic or non-Hispanic African American was associated with a 47 and 70 Kcal greater intake from low-nutrient, energy-dense foods, than for non-Hispanic whites, and females consumed 46 Kcal less from low-nutrient, energy-dense foods.…”

“…Kakarala et al [56], explored the mean energy intake from competitive food sources other than a la carte in schoolchildren. Briefel et al [63], set out to test the hypothesis that children would compensate for eating fewer SSB’s and low-nutrient, energy dense foods at school by consuming more of these items outside of school. Other cross-sectional analyzes examined data on Kcalorie consumption of competitive foods in schools before and after policy implementation or beverage tax imposed [51,57,59].…”

“…Studies which correlated associations between availability, consumption patterns, and student’s BMI-related outcomes were performed by [14,26,49,50,59,60]. Whereas other studies considered the associations between a variety of competitive food sources (vending machines, a la carte, school store, snack bars) in schools with consumption of low nutrient, energy-dense foods [23,55,56,58,63]. …”

“…Addressing over-weight prevalence before and after initiation of competitive food and beverage policies was observed in a number of studies [51,53,57].

Background: The United States (US) is currently facing a public health crisis due to the percentage of obesity in adolescents. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) stated the risks for children due to obesity are many. Adolescents obtain a large portion of their daily caloric intake at school; therefore, what foods/drinks they are consuming is so serious. Objective: To identify and analyze literature on the effects of competitive foods in public schools on adolescent weight, or Body Mass Index (BMI), and possible impacts they may have on adolescent obesity in the United States. Methods: An integrative systematic review of literature was conducted. The literature was collected in CINAHL, MEDLINE and EMBASE databases. Refined keyword search is further detailed in the report. Year restrictions were 2006–2017 from peer-reviewed journals and published in English, including adolescents 13–18 years old in the US. Criteria for inclusion targeted at least one of (1) sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB), (2) competitive foods, (3) commercial foods, (4) vending machines, (5) al a carte venues, and (6) school stores, examining their associations with weight measurements, using either weight or BMI, or caloric intake analysis. Results: A total of 164 articles were detected and assessed, for a final analysis of 34 full text articles. Twenty-six articles met the inclusion criteria. Common aspects of interest involved BMI/Obesity/Weight (73%), (58%) examined Calorie density or consumption, (77%) discussed the Availability of competitive foods in schools, (54%) included Analysis of competitive food, beverage and nutrition policies, and (69%) addressed Other effects. Conclusion: This review discovered substantial evidence that competitive foods are highly available in schools, however, lacking in robust evidence proving causality in increasing BMI or weight. There is strong corroboration in the research revealing that Other effects are factors worthy of studying further. Additional longitudinal and higher-quality research needs to be performed.

Participants: Survey respondents at 2647 public and 1205 private elementary schools. Main Outcome Measure: The availability of foods offered in competitive venues. Results: Elementary school students' access to foods in competitive venues on campus (vending machines, school stores, snack bars, or à la carte lines) remained constant over time. As of the 2009-2010 school year, approximately half of all public and private elementary school students could purchase foods in 1 or more competitive venues on campus. Sugary foods were available to almost all students with access to competitive foods on campus. Public elementary school students in the South had more access to competitive food venues and greater availability of salty and sweet products in those venues compared with students in other parts of the country; however, they also had greater availability of healthier foods, such as fruits and vegetables. Conclusions: Many elementary school students can purchase competitive foods on campus. Most students with access to competitive venues could purchase sweet products, but healthier foods were less widely available.
