SUMMARY:

“This is an observational-cross-sectional study that evaluated the association between mothers' education and frequency of free sugar consumption in 6- to 9-year-old schoolchildren living in socially deprived areas of the Federal District, Brazil. The main outcome determined the monthly consumption frequency of free sugar. Also, the secondary outcomes point to behaviors related to health, diet, and the association of demographic characteristics included in the data modeling, such as the child's gender, family structure, per capita family income, and level of mother's education. Data were extracted from the Affordable Health Initiative Structural Project baseline (affordablehealthinitiative.com). In this study, 912 children were eligible to participate; however, the response rate was 60% (543), but only 471 (52%) provided data on relevant variables and were included in the data analysis of this substudy. Furthermore, 471 parents/guardians were interviewed about socioeconomic variables and dietary habits using a survey methodology (n=471). Data collection was performed electronically. Data analysis included descriptive statistics. To assess data normality, the Shapiro-Wilk test and non-parametric tests were used due to data distribution characteristics. The Mann-Whitney test was used for comparisons with more groups. Kruskal-Wallis test was used with multiple comparisons using the Dunn test. To assess the relationship between variables, the Generalized Linear Model of Negative Binomial Regression was used, whose results were considered statistically significant when α (type I error) was < 0.05. The sample consisted of 252 boys and 219 girls with a mean age of 8.12 (±0.90). Overall, 85.3% of families have a per capita income below the minimum salary. Furthermore, 61.6% of parents/ guardians considered themselves married, and 53.6% of mothers have completed high school or college. Children consumed free sugar 20 times a month (95% CI 18.01 to 21.99), and there was a statistically significant association between the mother's education and per capita income. There was no statistically significant difference regarding gender and family structure. Note that the average frequency of children's monthly sugar consumption decreases significantly as the mother's level of education increases, and it is also lower in children from families with per capita income above the minimum wage. The results of the generalized linear model of negative binomial regression showed that children with a monthly family income lower than one minimum salary and mothers with low education consumed an average amount of sugar 24.84 times per month. Children with a family income higher than a minimum salary and mothers who completed high school or college consumed an average amount of sugar 8.99 times per month. In conclusion, for students in vulnerable situations, the variables related to the family's socioeconomic level, such as per capita family income and maternal education, are more relevant than the family's structure and the child's gender when related to the frequency of monthly sugar consumption.”
