Sugar intake and weight and height of pupils of 16 years in South Africa ethnic groups

AR Walker, BF Walker, J Jones, C Walker and J Ncongwane

In South African ethnic groups--Blacks. Indians, European-African- Malay, and whites--measurements were made on a total of 2037 pupils, aged 16 yr, of sugar intake, weight, and height. In the various subgroups there was no clear-cut trend for high sugar-consuming pupils (upper thirds), compared with low sugar-consuming pupils (lower thirds), to have greater mean weights and heights. presumably, high consumers of sugar eat less of nonsugar foods, and vice versa. In approximate gradings for habitual physical activity, a slight trend was apparent for those in upper thirds to have higher mean sugar intakes.
