[Frequency of consumption of sweet carbonated drinks by the population of different age groups of the Russian Federation]

Abstract

The article analyzes the frequency of consumption of sweet carbonated beverages by various age groups (from 12 to 60 years) of the population of all Federal districts of Russian Federation. The presence of general regularities in the frequency of consumption of these drinks, regardless of the region, was established. About 5-8% of the population of different age and sex groups consumed sweet carbonated drinks with a fairly high frequency (5-6 times a week). The analysis showed that there was no dependence of the body mass index on the frequency of consumption of carbonated beverages and the absence of gender and age differences.

Keywords: body mass index; frequency of consumption; questionnaires; sweet carbonated drinks.
