Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Savory crispy or fried snack (SCFS), sugary snack (SS), and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption are associated with a higher prevalence of obesity and non-communicable diseases. So, we estimated the consumption of SCFS, SS, and SSB among elderly males and females in Bangladesh. We also reported the factors associated with their consumption using data from a nationwide cross-sectional study.
METHODS: We interviewed 2,482 (51.52%) elderly males and 2,335 (48.47%) elderly females for the recall for the past seven days on the intake of SCFS, SS, and SSB from 82 randomly selected clusters from rural, non-slum urban, and slum areas in Bangladesh. Sociodemographic and anthropometry data were also collected.
RESULTS: Consumption of SCFS, SS, and SSB for ≥1 time per week was reported by 884 (31.5%), 1,696 (66.1%), and 1,911 (69.3%) of the elderly males and 516 (20.1%), 1,367 (53.9%), and 1,171 (34.1%) of the elderly females, respectively. Both elderly males and females from slum and non-slum urban areas consumed more SSB than their rural counterparts. Higher level of television viewing was associated with increased frequency of intake of SCFS, SS, and SSB among elderly males and SSB intake among elderly females. Nutritional status was not associated with the consumption of these foods and drinks among the elderly; however, overweight males consumed SSB less frequently.
CONCLUSIONS: In Bangladesh, elderly males and females frequently consume unhealthy snacks and drinks. Considering their detrimental effect on health, it is necessary to reduce their consumption through policy and program measures and promote healthier foods and beverages.

摘要：
背景：香脆或油炸小吃（SCFS），含糖零食（SS），和含糖饮料（SSB）的消费与肥胖和非传染性疾病的患病率较高有关。所以,我们估计了SCFS的消耗量，SS,孟加拉国老年男性和女性的SSB。我们还使用来自全国横断面研究的数据报告了与他们消费相关的因素。
方法：我们采访了2,482（51.52％）老年男性和2,335（48.47％）老年女性，以回忆过去7天的SCFS摄入量，SS,和SSB来自农村随机选择的82个集群，非贫民窟城市，和孟加拉国的贫民窟地区。还收集了社会人口统计学和人体测量学数据。
结果：SCFS的消耗，SS,884例(31.5%)报告每周SSB≥1次，1,696（66.1%），和1,911（69.3％）的老年男性和516（20.1％），1367（53.9%），和1171名(34.1%)老年女性，分别。贫民窟和非贫民窟城市地区的老年男性和女性都比农村地区消耗更多的SSB。较高的电视收视水平与SCFS摄入频率增加有关，SS,老年男性的SSB和老年女性的SSB摄入量。营养状况与老年人对这些食物和饮料的消费无关；然而，超重男性消耗SSB的频率较低。
结论：在孟加拉国，老年男性和女性经常食用不健康的零食和饮料。考虑到它们对健康的有害影响，有必要通过政策和计划措施减少他们的消费，并推广更健康的食品和饮料。
