过量摄入游离糖与健康状况不佳有关。因此，世界卫生组织(WHO)建议将游离糖的摄入量限制在总能量摄入量的10%以下。为了评估当前膳食糖的摄入量并监测对指南的遵守情况，这项研究的目的是全面评估斯洛文尼亚人口中不同年龄段的总糖和游离糖的摄入量。斯洛文尼亚国家食品消费调查SI.Menu 2017/18年度对青少年(10-17岁)、成年人(18-岁)和老年人(65-74岁)的代表性样本进行了两次非连续的24小时饮食召回。这些分析是在1248名研究参与者的样本中进行的。食品中的游离糖含量是根据之前建立的数据库进行估计的。青少年、成人和老年人按人口加权计算的游离糖摄入量中位数分别占总能量摄入量的10.1%、6.4%和6.5%。在受教育程度较低的参与者和家庭净收入较高的参与者中，女性的总糖和游离糖摄入量在TEI百分比中都高于男性。青少年游离糖的主要来源是饮料、蛋糕、松饼、糕点和乳制品；对于成年人和老年人来说，游离糖的主要来源是饮料、蛋糕、松饼、糕点和糖、蜂蜜及相关产品。共有56%的青少年、84%的成年人和81%的老年人口遵守世卫组织的游离糖指南。需要采取更多措施来进一步减少青少年人口中的游离糖消费，因为青少年的饮食模式仍然是最令人担忧的问题。
Excessive free sugars consumption is associated with poor health outcomes. Thus, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting free sugars intake to no more than 10% of total energy intake. To evaluate current intakes of dietary sugars and monitor the adherence to the guidelines, the objective of this study was to comprehensively assess total and free sugars consumption of different age groups within the Slovenian population. The Slovenian national food consumption survey SI.Menu 2017/18 was conducted on representative samples of adolescents (10-17 years), adults (18-64 years), and the elderly (65-74 years) using two non-consecutive 24-h dietary recalls. The analyses were carried out on a sample of 1248 study participants. Free sugars content in food was estimated based on previously established databases. The population weighted median free sugars intake accounted for 10.1% of total energy intake (TEI) among adolescents, 6.4% among adults, and 6.5% in the elderly population. Both total and free sugars consumption in the percentage of TEI were higher among women than men, in participants with lower education, and those with higher family net income. The main sources of free sugars in adolescents were beverages, cakes, muffins, pastry, and dairy products; for adults and the elderly, the key sources of free sugars were beverages, cakes, muffins, pastry, and sugars, honey, and related products. A total of 56% of adolescents, 84% of adults, and 81% of the elderly population adhered to the WHO free sugars guidelines. Additional measures will be required to further decrease free sugars consumption among the teenage population, in which dietary patterns are still of greatest concern.
