Abstract

Measurement of consumption of sugar-sweetened and 100% fruit juice drinks is typically patchy and often nutritionally focused, particularly in developing countries such as Turkey, with limited public perception and awareness of the health risks associated with excessive SSB consumption, and a low stimulus level of 100% fruit juice intake. In the study, the effects of socio-demographic, economic, and lifestyle characteristics of individuals and households on their different consumption probabilities of pure fruit juice (100% FJ) and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) were determined using the random-effects bivariate probit model in the context of family heterogeneity in Turkey. A richer source of information was elicited by deriving different probabilities from the bivariate random effects probit model. The applied model was found to be more compatible with the data and all the correlation coefficients examined were statistically significant. While most of the variables were statistically significant, according to the regressor effect, the probability of consuming 100% fruit juice among sugar-sweetened intakers was found to be greater or less than the probability of consuming 100% fruit juice of a randomly selected individual from the population (e.g., marginal probability). In this context, we can expect that the implementation of distinct intervention health programs that will involve different population segments will contribute greatly to the development of ideal outcomes. In addition, policy recommendations were presented considering the effects of very important variables.

Aile Bireylerinde Şeker Katkılı ve %100 Doğal Meyve Suları Tüketimi Üzerine Araştırma

Abstract

Şeker ilaveli içeceklerin ve %100 meyve sularının tüketim ölçümleri genellikle eksik verilere sahip olup sıklıkla beslenme odaklı bir yaklaşım sergiler. Bu durum özellikle Türkiye gibi gelişmekte olan ülkelerde daha belirgin bir hal alır; zira aşırı şekerli içecek tüketiminin sağlık riskleri ile ilişkilendirilmesi halk arasında sınırlı farkındalığa ve bilince sahiptir. Aynı zamanda, %100 meyve suyu tüketimi düşük seviyelerde seyretmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de ailevi heterojenliğin bağlamında bireylerin ve hanelerin sosyo-demografik, ekonomik ve yaşam tarzı özelliklerinin saf meyve suyu (100% FJ) ve şeker ilaveli içecekler (Şİİ) tüketim olasılıkları üzerindeki etkileri rastgele etkiler ikili probit modeli kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Bu model sayesinde elde edilen farklı olasılıklar, daha kapsamlı bir veri kaynağı sunmaktadır. Uygulanan model, verilerle daha uyumlu sonuçlar elde etmekte olup incelenen tüm korelasyon katsayıları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Değişkenlerin büyük bir kısmı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı iken, regresyon etkilerine göre, şekerli içecek tüketenler arasında %100 meyve suyu tüketme olasılığının, popülasyondan rastgele seçilmiş bir bireyin %100 meyve suyu tüketme olasılığından daha yüksek veya daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir (örneğin, marjinal olasılık). Bu bağlamda, farklı nüfus kesimlerini hedefleyen ayrı sağlık müdahale programlarının uygulanmasının, ideal sonuçların elde edilmesine büyük katkı sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir. Ayrıca, çok önemli değişkenlerin etkileri dikkate alınarak politika önerileri sunulmuştur.
