Different patterns of sweet liking exist. For some, liking increases as concentration increases up to a point at which it typically plateaus. These individuals are referred to as sweet likers. How sweet likers' beverage intake, especially sugar sweetened beverage intake, differs from sweet dislikers' beverage intake is not well characterized. A total of 953 visitors (650 adults; 62.0% women; 303 children; 58.7% girls) to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science rated the taste intensity and liking of 5 sucrose solutions that spanned concentrations typically encountered in sugar-sweetened beverages (0.0-13.7% w/v) using visual analog scales. Beverage intake by adults was quantified using the validated BEVQ-15 questionnaire. Among adults, hierarchical cluster analysis identified three clusters of liking patterns (likers, dislikers, and neutrals). Among children, two clusters of liking patterns were identified (likers and dislikers). For both adults and children, BMI, percent body fat, age, and sex did not differ between clusters. Concentration by cluster interaction effects were observed for both adults and children. Adult sweet likers consumed more energy from all beverages, more sweetened juice and tea, and less water than those in other clusters. Sweet liker status may be a useful predictor of increased energy intake from beverages, but prospective trials are necessary to confirm this utility.

儿童和成人的甜蜜喜好状态：成人饮料摄入的后果

存在不同的甜蜜喜好模式。对于某些人来说，喜欢随着注意力的增加而增加，直到达到通常的平稳状态。这些人被称为甜蜜的喜欢者。甜食者的饮料摄入量，特别是含糖饮料的摄入量，与甜食者的饮料摄入量有何不同尚未得到很好的表征。丹佛自然科学博物馆共有 953 名参观者（650 名成人；62.0% 的女性；303 名儿童；58.7% 的女孩）对 5 种蔗糖溶液的口味强度和喜好进行了评级，这些溶液跨越了含糖饮料中常见的浓度（0.0 -13.7% w/v) 使用视觉模拟量表。成年人的饮料摄入量使用经过验证的 BEVQ-15 问卷进行量化。在成年人中，层次聚类分析确定了三类喜欢模式（喜欢者、不喜欢者、和中性）。在儿童中，确定了两组喜欢模式（喜欢和不喜欢）。对于成人和儿童，BMI、体脂百分比、年龄和性别在集群之间没有差异。对成人和儿童均观察到集群相互作用效应的浓度。与其他人群相比，成人喜欢甜食的人从所有饮料中消耗了更多的能量、更多的甜果汁和茶，以及更少的水。甜食者状态可能是饮料能量摄入增加的有用预测指标，但需要前瞻性试验来证实这种效用。与其他人群相比，成人喜欢甜食的人从所有饮料中消耗了更多的能量、更多的甜果汁和茶，以及更少的水。甜食者状态可能是饮料能量摄入增加的有用预测指标，但需要前瞻性试验来证实这种效用。与其他人群相比，成人喜欢甜食的人从所有饮料中消耗了更多的能量、更多的甜果汁和茶，以及更少的水。甜食者状态可能是饮料能量摄入增加的有用预测指标，但需要前瞻性试验来证实这种效用。
