In order to examine changes in beverage consumption trends over 10 years by food security status in U.S. adults (total n=26,013, aged 蠅 20 years), we analyzed 24‐hour dietary recalls (day 1) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001‐2010. Food security (FS) status was assessed using the U.S. Food Security Survey Module and then categorized into 4 levels: high (HFS, n=20,244), marginal (MFS, n=2,536), low (LFS, n=2,317) and very low (VLFS, n=1,477). Each beverage was classified into one of 18 categories including water, sweetened/unsweetened tea or coffee, diet drinks, 100% fruit/vegetable juice, milk (whole, 2%,1%, skim, soy, and flavored), sugar‐sweetened beverages (soft drinks, fruit drinks, energy/sports drinks, and others), and alcohol. The Wilcoxon‐Mann‐Whitney test was used to specifically examine differences between periods 2001‐2002 and 2009‐2010. Among all groups soft drink consumption decreased (p< 0.01) while energy/sports drink intake increased (p<0.05). In HFS, MFS, and LFS, whole milk consumption decreased (p<0.005, for all). In HFS and MFS the consumption of sweetened coffee, diet drinks, and alcohol increased; and in LFS and VLFS adults, 2% milk intake increased (p<0.05, for all). These findings suggest that changes in soft drink and energy/sports drink consumption from 2001 to 2010 were similar across FS groups, while differences were apparent for consumption of milk by type and other beverages. FS status is associated with differences in beverage consumption trends, some of which may have health implications into the future.
