The high carbonated and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) consumption and associated factors in the West of Iran: a cross-sectional study

Based on the results of this study the high sugar-sweetened beverage consumption was significant. The consumption among females and younger was lower than males and older people. It seems, that there is a significant negative association between female gender and age with SSB consumption, suggesting that males and older individuals tend to consume more sugar-sweetened beverages. On the other hand, socio-economic status was positively associated with SSB consumption, indicating that individuals with higher socio-economic status may have a higher intake of these beverages.
