Konsumsi energi minuman berkalori dan kontribusinya terhadap total konsumsi energi pada remaja dan dewasa

Abstract

The objective of this research was to analyze energy intake from calorie beverages (EICB) and it’s contribution total energy intake of adolescents and adults. The research was carried out throught analyzing a data set of THIRST (The Indonesian Regional Hydration Study) collected in 2008 and 2009 by applying a crossectional study design among 606 adolescents (male and female aged 15-18 yrs) and 594 adults (male and female aged 25-55 yrs) in North Jakarta, West Bandung, Surabaya, Malang, Makasar and Malino. Data processing and analysis were conducted in Bogor in April-July 2011. The results showed that the mean EICB among adolescents was 420 ± 406 kcal/d and emong adults was 450 ± 382 kcal/d, which is 21.2% and 23.4% of the total energy intake (TEI) of adolescents and adults respectively. EICB was moderately associated with TEI of adolescents (r= 0.58, p<0.05 ), of adults (r= 0.51 , p<0.05), and of both adolescents and adults (r= 0.54 and p<0.05). This could be lead to over energy intake, obesity and other possible adverse effects. Further studies are required to analyze causal relationship between EICB and obesity, and other possible adverse effects among Indonesians; while at the same time it is also important to start promoting an advice for healthier and wiser beverages choices.
