Background<\/div>\n
\\\\n<\/p>\n
In the U.S., problems with safe, affordable water have led more and more adults to avoid their tap water. This could be a sign of underlying water insecurity. While dietary recalls give us important data on nutrition, we haven’t really used them to monitor water insecurity, until now.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/div>\n
\\\\n<\/p>\n
This article shows how water intake data from dietary recalls connects to, and can even predict, a key sign of water insecurity: avoiding tap water.<\/p>\n
\\\\n\\\\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\\\\n<\/p>\n
\\\\n<\/p>\n
Methods<\/div>\n
\\\\n<\/p>\n
We used NHANES data from 2005\u20132018, looking at 32,329 adults. First, we checked out how much total, plain (tap and bottled water combined), tap, and bottled water people drank. We also saw what percentage drank no tap water or only bottled water. Then, we used multiple linear and logistic regressions to see how avoiding tap water related to plain water intake and how many sugary drinks people had. Finally, we used receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves to test how well not drinking plain water, not drinking tap water, only drinking bottled water, and different amounts of tap water predicted tap water avoidance.<\/p>\n

Results<\/div>\n
\\\\n<\/p>\n
Between 2005 and 2018, people drank more plain water, mostly because they drank more bottled water. In 2017\u201318, over half of adults (51.4%) didn’t drink tap water on a given day, and 35.8% only drank bottled water. Adults who skipped tap water drank less tap and plain water, but much more bottled water and sugary drinks. Not drinking tap water, or certain categories of tap water intake, predicted tap water avoidance with 77% and 78% accuracy (areas under the ROC curve).<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/div>\n
\\\\n<\/p>\n
This study proves that water intake data from dietary recalls can accurately predict if someone avoids tap water. It gives us a real look into water insecurity. Plus, when people rely more on bottled water, it often means they’re worried about their tap water quality.<\/p>\n
