Beverage consumption of participants from the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span (HANDLS) study
Fanelli Kuczmarski M, Mason M, Zonderman AB, Evans MK. Beverage consumption of participants from the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span (HANDLS) study. Paper presented at the 33rd National Nutrient Databank Conference; 17 April 2009; New Orleans, LA. 2009
Objective: To determine the amount and pattern of beverage consumption across sex and race groups by body mass index. Materials and Methods: The HANDLS study is a prospective 20-year longitudinal study examining the influences of race and socioeconomic status on the development of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cognitive function among African American and white residents of Baltimore. The present sample consists of 1991 subjects (African Americans, n=1213; whites, n=778), 30 to 64 years of age. Approximately 46% of the sample has an income <125% poverty status. Two 24-hr dietary recalls were collected in-person by trained interviewers using the USDA Automated Multiple Pass Method. Foods and beverages were coded and analyzed using USDA Survey net system and the Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies 3.0. Weight status was measured using cutoff points for BMI and defined as under/normal, over-weight, and obese. Height and weight were measured. SAS version 9.1 was used to generate descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: Energy intake from all beverages ranged from 17% to 19% for obese to normal weight persons, respectively. Mean energy from beverages by weight status was not significantly different by race. However, percent of energy contributed by fat and sugar was significantly lower among whites compared to African Americans. The percent of total energy from all beverages consumed by overweight and obese women was significantly lower than that of normal weight women. Obese men also consumed significantly less energy from beverages than normal weight men. In comparison to men and women aged 40+ years examined in the NHANES 1999-2000, the estimated percent of energy from beverages was higher for HANDLS study participants. Significance: The findings contribute to knowledge of beverage consumption patterns observed among different race and BMI groups. Understanding factors that influence beverage consumption are important for nutrition professionals and policymakers.
