Table 1_Factors and pathways influencing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among childr

A cross-sectional survey of 1,127 third-grade students from six elementary schools in Beijing, conducted in October-November 2024. The dataset, created by Lulu Meng, examines multilevel factors influencing sugar-sweetened beverage consumption using structural equation modeling, explaining 35.2% of the variance in consumption behavior.

Use Cases

• Modeling pathways of behavioral influence based on individual, interpersonal, and environmental factors described in the study.
• Analyzing the association between caregiver and peer behaviors and child consumption patterns mentioned in the results.
• Investigating the role of health labeling awareness and education on shaping children's attitudes toward sugary drinks.
• Assessing the prevalence of sugar-sweetened beverage consumption in a specific urban pediatric population.

Strengths

• Includes data from 1,127 participants, providing a substantial sample size for analysis.
• Results are based on a structural equation model with an explained variance of 35.2% for the primary outcome.
• Explicitly reports key statistical associations, such as the 81.90% prevalence of consumption and standardized beta coefficients for predictors.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data is limited to a specific geographic area (Beijing) and age group (third-grade students), which may limit generalizability.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for certain analytical tasks.
