Excessive consumption of sweets and chocolate can contribute to unhealthy weight gain, dental problems, and other health issues in adolescents. This measure assesses the frequency of sweets and chocolate consumption, revealing the proportion of young people who consume these foods daily. Understanding the prevalence of daily sweets and chocolate consumption can inform interventions aimed at promoting healthier dietary choices and reducing the intake of sugary foods.
