Poor diet, sedentary behaviors, sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) and alcohol intake seem
to co-exist in complex ways that are not well understood. The aim of this study was to provide an
understanding of the extent to which unhealthy behaviors cluster in eight Latin America countries. A
secondary aim was to identify socio-demographic characteristics associated with these behaviors by
country. Data from adolescents and adults from the “Latin American Health and Nutrition Study” was
used and the prevalence of screen-time, occupational and transportation–sedentary time, socializing
with friends, poor diet, SSB and alcohol intake, alone and in combination, were identified. The eight
Latin America (LA) countries added to analyses were: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa
Rica, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Logistic regression was used to estimate associations between
≥2 behaviors clustering, socio-demographics and weight status. Among 9218 individuals, the most
prevalent behaviors were transportation and occupation–sedentary time, SSB and alcohol intake.
Younger, female, married/living with a partner, low and middle-income and obese individuals
had higher chances for these clustering behaviors. These results provide a multi-country level of
understanding of the extent to which behaviors co-occur in the LA population.
