Beverage Consumption Patterns Among Navajo Children Aged 2–5 Years
In this cohort of young Navajo children, water was consumed more than any beverage and early child education sites provided healthy beverage environments. Adequate beverage hydration, observed in 26.3% of children, was associated with younger age and greater physical activity. Establishing healthy beverage habits at an early age, ensuring access to safe drinking water, and promoting culture and tradition could sustain healthy beverage choices among American Indian children.
