Trends in Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Intake Among Young Children, United States, 2021–2023

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We used data from the National Survey of Children's Health in 2021, 2022, and 2023 to examine trends in sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake among children aged 1 to 5 years in the US. We performed trend analyses nationally, by age group, and by state and jurisdiction (District of Columbia) for 2 frequencies of intake: 1 to 3 times per week and 4 or more times per week, with "none" as the referent group. We found no significant linear trends at the national level. Two states had significant linear trends for SSB intake 1 to 3 times per week, and 6 states and the District of Columbia had significant linear trends for SSB intake ≥4 times per week. State public health professionals can use these data to understand recent SSB intake among children.
