TABLE 4—

Adjusted Income and Price Elasticity Coefficients for the Household Consumption of SSBs: Household Budget Survey–Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, Brazil, 2002–2003

Household Strata
Variables All Income Quartiles First Income Quartile Second, Third, and Fourth Income Quartiles
Monthly per capita income, R$ 0.41 0.43 0.22
Price of SSBs, R$/1000 cal −0.85 −1.03 −0.63
R2 0.76 0.58 0.59

Note. SSB = sugar-sweetened beverage. All regression coefficients are statistically significant (P < .05). We adjusted coefficients for geographic region and urban or rural status of the household stratum, proportion of members aged ≥ 65 years, and mean price of the set of foods and beverages complementary to SSBs. We obtained price elasticity coefficients in 3 separate log–log linear regression models.
