Abstract

The dietary pattern has changed in the last decades, indicating an increase in the consumption of ultra-processed foods with a high caloric density and a decrease in fiber and nutrients, which has contributed to the increase of Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases. High-calorie foods include soft drinks and sugary drinks, which are often associated with the development of cavities, type 2 diabetes, kidney problems, cancer, and being overweight. This paper analyzes the excessive consumption of soft drinks and artificial juices in the period from 2007 to 2019 in the Brazilian capitals. This is a time series ecological observational study that used data from the Surveillance System of Risk Factors and Protection for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Inquiry (Vigitel). Trend analysis was performed using estimates of the Annual Percentage Change (VPA) of the prevalence of excessive consumption of soft drinks and artificial juices in Brazilian capitals from 2007 to 2019 by Poisson regression in the software Joinpoint. A total of 674,787 individuals were interviewed in the period from 2007 to 2019, being 38.0% male and 62.0% female. There was a decline of 43.8% in the consumption of soft drinks and artificial juices, and this reduction was more pronounced in females, in individuals aged between 18 and 34 years, in those with less education and in the North and Northeast regions. Measures such as food and nutritional education policies as well as changes in Brazilian legislation regarding the labeling, advertising, advertising and taxation of these products are necessary to reduce the consumption of soft drinks and artificial juices.
