Abstract
Objetivo: Determinar si existe asociación entre consumo materno de azúcar y consumo
temprano de azúcares libres en menores de 1 año que acuden al programa de Control de
Crecimiento y Desarrollo (CRED) del hospital Distrital Pacasmayo.
Material y método: Se realizó un estudio observacional, de asociación, de corte transversal
que utilizó un cuestionario de frecuencia de alimentos ricos en fructosa para evaluar el
consumo de azúcar en las madres, y el recordatorio de 24 horas para los menores de 1 año.
La muestra estudiada estuvo conformada por 170 binomios madre – niño.
Resultados: El 42.9% de los menores de 1 año consumieron azúcares libres, siendo la avena,
mazamorras (con azúcar añadido) y los zumos de frutas, los alimentos azucarados más
frecuentes. Las madres evaluadas tuvieron una puntuación promedio de 20.1 en el
Cuestionario de frecuencia de alimentos ricos en fructosa, lo que significó un consumo alto
de fructosa. El consumo materno de azúcar no se asoció a la prevalencia del consumo de
azúcar en menores de un año de edad, luego de controlar por sexo del bebé, edad del bebé,
edad de la madre y número de hijos; (PR=0.96; IC 95% 0.91 - 1.01)
Conclusión: El consumo materno de azúcar no se asocia con el consumo de azúcares libres
en menores de 1 año. El consumo de azúcares libres comienza a temprana edad.
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine if there is an association between maternal sugar intake and early consumption of free sugars in children under one year of age who are enrolled in the Growth and Development Control Program (CRED) at Pacasmayo District Hospital Materials and Methods: This study utilized an observational, association, cross-sectional approach. A fructose-rich food frequency questionnaire was employed to evaluate maternal sugar intake, while a 24-hour dietary recall was used for children under one year of age. The sample included 170 mother-child pairs. Results: Among children under 1 year old, 42.9% consumed free sugars, with oatmeal, mazamorras (with added sugar), and fruit juices being the most commonly consumed sugary foods. The mothers evaluated had an average score of 20.1 on the High-Fructose Food Frequency Questionnaire, which meant a high fructose consumption. Maternal sugar consumption was not associated with the prevalence of sugar consumption in children under one year old, after adjusting for the baby’s sex, age, the mother’s age, and number of children (PR=0.96; 95% CI 0.91 - 1.01) Conclusion: The study found no association between maternal sugar consumption and free sugar intake in children under 1 year of age. This suggests that the consumption of free sugars begins at an early stage of life, independent of maternal sugar intake.
