Our results also showed that a significant share (73%) of participants in the sample ate snacks of intermediate or poor nutritional value. This is consistent with population surveys conducted nationally and internationally. In Chile, adolescents (aged 14 years to 18 years) ranked first in the consumption of refined sugar (121 g/day) and second in the consumption of saturated fats (12.7 mL-g/day) compared to other age groups. In this age group, the consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks was 254 mL/day, according to the latest National Food Consumption Survey . This survey also reported that 97% of children and adolescents aged 6 years to 18 years need to improve the quality of their diets. The World Health Organization’s Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey found that in Scotland, 35% of adolescents eat sweets or chocolate every day, and 18% eat chips every day. In addition, 20% of Scottish female adolescents and 27% of their male counterparts consume sugary soft drinks daily . Among US high schoolers, 22% of males and 17% of females report consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks ≥2 times per day .
