چکیده
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of family habits and household characteristics on the consumption of sugary drinks by Brazilian children under two years old. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study that used secondary data generated by the National Health Survey (PNS) in 2013. We studied 4,839 pairs of children under two years old and adults living in the same house. We estimated the prevalence of the indicator of sugary drinks consumption for the total sample of children and according to family and household variables. We applied multiple logistic regression analysis to evaluate the influence of family habits and household characteristics on the consumption of sugary drinks by the children. RESULTS The consumption of sugary drinks was identified in 32% of the studied children (95%CI 30.6-33.3) and was independently associated with the following family and household characteristics: regular consumption of sugary drinks by the adult living in the house (OR = 1.78; 95%CI 1.51-2.10), watching TV for more than three hours per day (OR = 1.22; 95%CI 1.03-1.45), older age (OR = 3.10; 95%CI 1.54-6.26), greater education level (OR = 0.70; 95%CI 0.53-0.91), house located in the Northeast region (OR = 0.65; 95%CI 1.54-6.26), and number of family members (OR = 1.05; 95%CI 1.00-1.09). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate the high prevalence of sugary drinks consumption by Brazilian children under two years old and show that sociodemographic characteristics and family habits affect this feeding practice not recommended in childhood.

MÉTODOS Estudo transversal que utilizou dados secundários gerados pela Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS), em 2013. Foram estudados 4.839 pares de crianças menores de dois anos e adultos residentes no mesmo domicílio. Foram estimadas as prevalências do indicador consumo de bebidas açucaradas para a amostra total de crianças e segundo categorias de variáveis familiares e do domicílio. Aplicou-se análise de regressão logística múltipla para avaliar a influência de hábitos familiares e características do domicílio sobre o consumo de bebidas açucaradas pelas crianças. RESULTADOS O consumo de bebidas açucaradas foi identificado em 32% das crianças estudadas (IC95% 30,6-33,3) e esteve independentemente associado com as seguintes caraterísticas familiares e domiciliares: consumo regular de bebidas açucaradas pelo adulto residente no domicílio (OR = 1,78; IC95% 1,51-2,10), hábito de assistir TV por mais de 3 horas diárias (OR = 1,22; IC95% 1,03-1,45), maior idade (OR = 3,10; IC95% 1,54-6,26), maior escolaridade (OR = 0,70; IC95% 0,53-0,91), domicílio localizado na região Nordeste (OR = 0,65; IC95% 1,54-6,26) e número de componentes da família (OR = 1,05; IC95% 1,00-1,09). CONCLUSÕES Os achados apontam a alta prevalência de consumo de bebidas açucaradas em crianças brasileiras menores de dois anos e que características sociodemográficas e hábitos familiares influenciam essa prática alimentar não recomendada na infância.
