The high carbonated and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) consumption and associated factors in the West of Iran: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The consumption of soft carbonated drinks and other sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) has been identified as a risk factor for several chronic diseases. We aimed to ascertain the proportion of carbonated beverage and SSB consumption, as well as the associated factors, in Hamadan, a city in the west of Iran.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was conducted on adults over 18 years old. To estimate the information related to the consumption of SSB, the standardized Iranian version of the FFQ questionnaire was used. The weekly consumption of four or more cups was considered to be high consumption. Multiple logistic regression was used for the identification of related factors of SSB. The results were reported at the 95% confidence level.
