Table 5. Estimated risk of prediabetes for percent intake of total added sugar^a in U.S. adults ≥20 years, the NHANES^b 2013–2018.

	% Added Sugar	Estimatec	SEd
Unadjusted e	<10%	.561	.020
Prediabetes (N = 3,152)	10–15%	.543	.018
	>15%	.567	.019
Adjusted f , g	<10%	.625	.021
Prediabetes (N = 2,735)	10–15%	.577	.029
	>15%	.614	.025

^aPercent intakes of total added sugar were based on a percent estimate of usual intake of added sugar (g) converted into kcals and divided by total daily calories (kcals)

^bNHANES = National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

^cEstimate represents the risk probability for prediabetes based on mean and quartile intakes of added sugar in grams per day.

^dSE = standard error

^eModel fit- C statistic: .501 and p-value = .51

^fModel fit- C statistic: .733 and p-value = .22. Ns between unadjusted and adjusted models differ due to missing covariates included in the adjusted model.

^gAdjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity, BMI, total calorie intake (kcal/day), moderate and/or vigorous physical activity, smoking status, education, family poverty to income ratio (PIR).
