caries-related cost and effects of a tax on SSBs

What is the purpose of this research?

• To assess the potential caries-related effects of introducing a 20% as valorem tax on SSBs

• To see a relation between ssb taxation and health issue

• To arrive at more precise estimates, tooth eruption time and a specific tooth loss trajectory were not corporate in the model.

• To establish the extent to which the effects of SSB taxation may be influenced by consumers replacing SSBs by other (non-taxed) sugar-containing drinks.

What is the recommended amount of sugar intake by WHO?

• Should exceed 10% of total energy intake and should ideally be more than 5% of total energy intake

• should not exceed 10% of total energy intake and should ideally be no more than 5% of total energy intake

• Should exceed 15% of total energy intake and should ideally be more than 10% of total energy intake

• should not exceed 15% of total energy intake and should ideally be no more than 10% of total energy intake

Why were children aged younger than 6 years old excluded from the study?

• Because children eat whatever their parents give them.

• Because children need sugars to be active.

• Because children younger than 6 years old still have primary and mixed dentition.

• Because children younger than 6 years old are harder to work with

Which of the following are not subjected to SSBs taxation?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Why was the Dutch population (Netherlands) chosen to be the model?

• One of the countries with the highest tax on sugar-sweetened beverages

• Long history of tax on sugar-sweetened beverages

• One of the countries with the highest sugar consumption

• The most disability is from health problems with preventable oral disorders

What was the model used to evaluate the cost & effects of SSB taxation on caries & oral health care?

• Mover-Stayer model

• Markov model

• Sethi model

• WSSUS model

Would SSB taxation be beneficial in terms of reducing absence from work and school?

• YES

• NO

Which of the following are not limitations of this study?

• lack of detailed evidence

• uncertainty of people’s preferences

• other sugar substitution patterns

• caries-free tooth incidence

Which group of people would the intervention become the most beneficial from preventing carious lesions AND gaining caries-free tooth years?

• boys aged 6-12 years old

• girls aged 6-12 years old

• men aged 19-35 years old

• women aged 13-18 years old

SSB taxation could not prevent carious lesions

• TRUE

• FALSE
