Objective: To provide an overview of beverage consumption patterns using the first nationally representative survey of dietary intake in Brazil. Design: Beverage consumption data were obtained by 1-day food records in an individual dietary survey. Setting: nationwide cross-sectional survey, 2008-09. Subjects: nationally representative sample of individuals ≥10 years (n=34,003). Results: Beverages contributed to 17.1% of total energy consumption. Caloric coffee beverages provided the greatest level of energy overall (464 kJ or 111 kcal/d). Individuals from 10 to 18 (243 kJ or 58 kcal/d) and from 19 to 39 years old (230 kJ or 55 kcal/d consumed higher proportion of energy from sugar sweetened soft drinks than individuals over this age (142 kJ or 34 kcal/d for those 40-59 and 79 kJ or 19 kcal/d for those >60 years old). Conclusions: Overall, the contribution of beverages, particularly sugary beverages, to total energy consumption in Brazil represents an important public health challenge and is comparable with those from other countries.URL
