Resumen
JIMENEZ-AGUILAR, Alejandra et al. Plain water and sugar sweetened beverages intake and use of school drinking fountains in secondary schools of the National School Drinking Fountains Program in Mexico City. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2021, vol.63, n.1, pp.68-78. Epub 15-Ago-2022. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/11023.
Objective:
To describe beverages consumption practices, and school drinking fountains utilization among secondary school’s students from National School Drinking Fountains Program (PNBE, Spanish acronym).
Materials and methods:
Descriptive cross-sectional study with mixed methods in public secondary schools (morning and afternoon shifts). We estimated plain water and sugar sweetened beverages consumption, school drinking fountains utilization, and barriers-facilitators for plain water consumption.
Results:
We interviewed 617 students (11 to 16 y); 51.5% were men. The mean of plain water intake (568.9 ml; CI95%: 470.7-667.1), and sugar sweetened beverages (143.4 ml; CI95%:124.0-162.7) was similar among women and men. In the morning shift women had a lower probability of utilizing the school drinking fountains in comparison with men (p=0.032). Men and women have mistrust water that comes from school drinking fountains.
Conclusions:
Integral actions are necessary to favor plain water consumption, and utilization of school drinking fountains at PNBE secondary schools.
