^ag = grams

^bNHANES = National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

^eModel fit- C statistic: .515 and p-value = .27. Total sample N = 5,306; prediabetes N = 3,152

^dModel fit- C statistic: .734 and p-value = .33. Total sample N = 4,617; prediabetes N = 2,735. Ns between unadjusted and adjusted models differ due to missing covariates included in the adjusted model.

^eAdjusted 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).

^fEstimate represents the risk probability for prediabetes based on mean and tertial intakes of added sugar (g/day).

^gSE = standard error

^hQ = quartiles
