000170338 5203_ $$aPurpose of Review: This review synthesizes current evidence on free sugar intake among European children and adolescents, emphasizing recent trends in consumption, key determinants, associated health outcomes, and implications for preventive strategies. Recent Findings: Despite modest reductions in some countries, sugar consumption in youth continues to exceed international recommendations, particularly during adolescence. Longitudinal studies highlight persistent high intakes, with sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) and confectionery as primary contributors. Socioeconomic disparities, parental behaviors, screen exposure, and individual traits significantly influence consumption. High sugar intake is linked to increased risk of adiposity, cardiometabolic disturbances, and dental caries, with early exposure potentially impacting long-term disease risk. Recent policy efforts, such as taxation and reformulation, show promise but remain inconsistently implemented across Europe. Summary: Free sugar intake in childhood remains a critical nutritional concern in Europe. Evidence supports the need for multilevel approaches, including early-life interventions, updated guidelines, and policy measures targeting the broader food environment. Healthcare professionals play a key role in supporting families through nutrition education and consistent messaging. Coordinated action is essential to reduce sugar intake and prevent chronic diseases across the life course.
