Like parent, like child: a cross-sectional study of intra-household consumption patterns of non-alcoholic beverages among British households with children.

Setting

Great Britain.

Participants

Random sample of 603 households with children under 18 years who regularly purchase non-alcoholic beverages.

Results

Low- or no-sugar/diet beverages dominate consumption across all age categories,
