Resumen
Introduction: Total dietary water intake includes plain water and other beverages such as juices, milk and moisture in food, and it was established to ensure an adequate hydration. The type and amounts of water and beverages varied by age, gender, race/ethnicity, physical activity, health and socioeconomic status as well as environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Objective: To analyze the dairy intake as a source of water among young Mexicans according to weight status.
Method: A cross-sectional study including adolescents was conducted in Mexico City; anthropometric measurements were assessed. A 24 h recall was obtained and analyzed with the Food Processor Software. Body mass index (BMI) and was calculated and subjects were classified as overweight /obese (OW-O) according to CDC percentiles.
Results: 242 adolescents were evaluated; the average age was 12±1.9 years old, 50.4% of the sample were boys. 43.4% was classified as OW-O. The daily intake of water, including foods, was 1263.1±656 ml with a higher consumption in those with a normal weight compared with OW-O (1,555±605.2 vs 891.4 ± 468.7 ml, respectively; p<0.05).Meanwhile the average intake of whole dairy was 1.5±0.65 for normal weight vs 1.1±0.590 serving/day in OW-O; p=0.493). Also sugar added milk consumption was similar in both groups (normal: 1.2±0.461 vs OW-O:1.0±0.63 serving/day; p=0.123) Conclusion: A low water consumption was reported in this population. In young Mexicans, milk is the third most important source and there were no differences in dairy products between normal weight and OW-O.
