为了应对近几十年来儿童体重的增加，美国的许多州、学区和学校限制或取消了学校中含糖饮料的销售。这些政策因其减少儿童超重和肥胖的潜力而得到推广，但其有效性尚未得到评估。使用一个大型的全国代表性的纵向数据集，幼儿纵向研究-幼儿园（ECLS-K），本研究探讨了儿童在5年级和8年级在学校获得含糖饮料，他们购买和这些饮料的总消费量以及他们的体重之间的关系。我们几乎没有发现任何证据表明，在学校销售的含糖饮料会导致儿童体重增加或超重或肥胖的风险增加。我们还发现有限的证据表明，在学校销售的含糖饮料的可用性导致这些饮料的总消费量增加。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
In response to the increase in children's weight in recent decades, many states, school districts, and schools in the United States have limited or eliminated the sale of sweetened beverages at school. These policies are promoted for their potential to reduce childhood overweight and obesity, but their effectiveness has not been evaluated. Using a large nationally representative longitudinal dataset, the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten (ECLS-K), this study explores the relationship between children's access to sweetened beverages at school in 5th and 8th grade, their purchases and total consumption of these beverages, and their weight. We find almost no evidence that availability of sweetened beverages for sale at school leads to heavier weight or greater risk of overweight or obesity among children. We also find limited evidence that availability of sweetened beverages for sale at school leads to higher total consumption of these beverages. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
