Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Soft drink is a major contributor to obesity and related health problems. This study aims to determine Carbonated Soft Drinks consumed among adolescents in Malaysia. METHODS: Data from National Health and Morbidity Survey 2017, (Adolescent Health Survey) were analysed. This cross-sectional study involved 27,462 school-going adolescents aged of 13-17 years; data was collected using self-administered questionnaire. Frequency of CSD consumption was assessed with the question. During the past 30 days, how many times per day did you usually drinks CSD. Adolescent who consumed CSD more than once per day was defined as taking carbonated soft drink. RESULTS: The descriptive and logistic regression analysis shows that the overall intake of CSD was 36.9% (95%CI: 35.04, 38.79) among adolescents in Malaysia. Higher intake was seen among boys (41.4%; 95%CI: 39.2, 43.8), Bumiputra Sarawak (63.6%; 95%CI: 54.7, 71.7) and age group of 13-15 years (39.8%; 95%CI: 38.0, 41.7). Adolescent in urban area significantly consumed lower CSD compared to rural (OR: 0.73; 95%CI: 0.060, 0.891). By nutritional status (BMI for age), the prevalence of CSD is highest among the thinness (40.6%; 95%CI: 37.3, 44.1) followed by normal BMI (36.9%; 95%CI: 35.04, 38.79) and overweight adolescents (35.8%; 95%CI: 33.7, 37.9). Adolescent from thinness group significantly consumed more CSD (OR: 1.17; 95%CI: 1.02, 1.33) compared to normal group. CONCLUSION: A message targeted on controlling CSD intake among adolescent should be a priority in future interventions targeting young adolescent to prevent unhealthy dietary choices.
