Daily per capita intakes of healthy and less-healthy beverages in the Mexican
population from urban areas, categorized by SES. Results are derived from the Mexican
National Health and Nutrition Survey 2012 (24).
Values are means ± SEs. n = 3502 in the low-, n = 3367
in the medium-, and n = 2773 in the high-SES group. Tertiles of SES are
based on the distribution of the socioeconomic index scores computed as part of the
Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2012 (range of scores by SES: low, −6.0 to
<−0.6; medium, −0.6 to <0.9; high, 0.9 to 4.7) (31). Multivariate linear regression models were used to predict per capita
daily intakes of healthy and less-healthy beverages according to SES, adjusting for age
(categorical), sex, area, and region of residence. Labeled means without a common letter
differ among categories of SES, P < 0.05, with the use of Bonferroni
adjustment. SES, socioeconomic status.
