Resumen
Los hábitos alimentarios poco saludables, que incluyen la ingesta habitual de bebidas azucaradas (BA), constituyen una preocupación global para la salud pública. La temática es particularmente importante en Argentina por ser uno de los países con mayor consumo de BA a nivel mundial, especialmente entre los adolescentes. La adolescencia es un período del ciclo vital en el que se desarrolla una creciente autonomía sobre comportamientos relacionados con la salud, como lo es la dieta, que pueden implicar riesgos para la salud en la edad adulta por sus efectos acumulativos. El objetivo del artículo es analizar la frecuencia de consumo de BA entre los adolescentes de 13 a 17 años residentes en zonas urbanas de Argentina en los años 2018 y 2019, según variables sociodemográficas y considerando la frecuencia de consumo de otros alimentos. Para ello se realizó un análisis estadístico de datos secundarios, de diseño correlacional y de corte transversal. Como fuente de información se utilizó la Segunda Encuesta Nacional de Nutrición y Salud (ENNyS). Se realizó un análisis bivariado y multivariado a partir de regresiones logísticas binarias. Los resultados muestran una mayor frecuencia de consumo de BA entre los adolescentes pertenecientes a hogares de menores recursos económicos y educativos, entre los varones, y los residentes en el Gran Buenos Aires. También es mayor la frecuencia entre quienes tienen otros hábitos de consumo poco saludables. En línea con antecedentes internacionales, se concluye que el consumo frecuente de BA no es un comportamiento aislado, sino parte de prácticas alimentarias integradas que responden a lógicas culturales, identidades grupales y reproducen desigualdades sociales.
Unhealthy dietary habits, including the regular consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB), are a global public health concern. The issue is particularly important in Argentina as it is one of the countries with the highest SSB consumption worldwide, especially among adolescents. Adolescence is a stage in the life cycle when increasing autonomy develops over health-related behaviors, such as diet, which can pose risks to health in adulthood due to their cumulative effects. The objective of this article is to analyze the frequency of SSB consumption among adolescents aged 13 to 17 living in urban areas of Argentina during the years 2018 and 2019, according to sociodemographic variables and in relation to the frequency of consumption of other foods. A statistical analysis of secondary data was performed using a correlational and cross-sectional design. The Second National Nutrition and Health Survey (ENNyS) was used as the data source. A bivariate and multivariate analysis was performed using binary logistic regressions. The results show a higher frequency of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among adolescents from households with lower economic and educational resources, among males, and among those residing in Greater Buenos Aires. The frequency is also higher among those with other unhealthy consumption patterns. In line with international precedents, it is concluded that frequent sugarsweetened beverage consumption is not an isolated behavior, but rather part of integrated dietary practices that respond to cultural logics and group identities and that reproduce social inequalities.
