The purpose of this study was to investigate the beverage patterns and the potential differences between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake and diet quality in different weight categories of US children aged 2-18 years old. A cross-sectional study design was used to examine the dietary and anthropometric data collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2012. Diet quality was measured using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) 2010. Beverage pattern data was divided into groups based on age and weight categorization. Diet quality was analyzed by SSB consumption, which was broken down into non-consumer, limited consumers, and high consumers within each age and weight group. The most reported beverages and those consumed highest by volume were: water, milk, and soda for children and adolescents 6-18 years old in all three weight groups. While in young children 2-5 years old in all three weight groups, these were water, milk, and juice. The quantity of SSB children drink was associated with a difference in HEI scores more so than their weight status. Higher SSB intake was associated with lower overall HEI scores, as well as lower fruit, whole grains, and empty calorie scores compared to non- consumption. Pediatric healthy diet and lifestyle interventions should focus on limiting the consumption of SSB in youth regardless of weight status.
