Abstract

Summary: Background: High intake of sugar‐sweetened beverages (SSB) has been suggested to contribute to the pediatric obesity epidemic, however, how the home food environment influence children's intake of SSB among H ispanic families is still poorly understood. Objectives: To evaluate the relationships between the home food environment and H ispanic children's diet in relation to weight status and insulin resistance (IR). Methods: A food frequency questionnaire was administered to 187 H ispanic children (ages 10 to 14 years) and anthropometrics were measured. IR was estimated from fasting insulin and glucose levels using the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA IR). Parents reported on family demographics and the home food environment. A structural equation modelling approach was applied to examine the hypothesized relationships among variables. Results: The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity was 52.8% and it was positively associated with HOMA IR (β = 0.687, P < .0001). Children's SSB consumption was positively associated with children's body mass index z‐score (β = 0.151, P < 0.05) and subsequently to HOMA IR. Children's SSB consumption was predicted by home availability (β = 0.191) and parental intake of SSB (β = 0.419) (P < 0.05). The model fit indices [χ 2 = 45.821 (d.f. = 30, P > 0.01 and < 0.05), χ 2/d.f. = 1.53, root mean square error of approximation = 0.053 (90% confidence interval = 0.016, 0.082), comparative fit index = 0.904] suggested a satisfactory goodness‐of‐fit. Conclusions: The home food environment and parental diet seem to play an important role in the children's access to and intake of SSB, which in turn predicted children's weight status.

  • The majority of studies on SSB consumption and insulin resistance risk among children and adolescents were cross-sectional, one was longitudinal, and no intervention studies were conducted.

    “A modest number of studies reported a positive association between SSB consumption and insulin resistance risk among children and adolescents, with the majority conducted cross-sectionally [62–65], one conducted longitudinally [66] and no intervention studies conducted (Table 2).”
  • Cross-sectional studies found a positive association between SSB consumption and insulin resistance in the whole or a subset of their study population.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
