Beverage consumption and the incidence of overweight and obesity in an Indianapolis WIC population

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The incidence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescence is a global health concern. The long term health implications of overweight or obesity include respiratory issues, mobility joint issues, cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, and certain types of cancer. The incidence of overweight and obesity is more common in low socioeconomic populations. Though there are many factors influencing children who become overweight or obese, beverage consumption is of particular interest since it is hypothesized that the energy supplied by beverages is not compensated by energy intake from the rest of the diet.
