All values are means ± SEs. The data are from NHANES; n = 22,367 youth aged 2–19 y and 29,133 adults aged ≥20 y. NS, P ≥ 0.05. SSBs include soda, fruit drinks (including fruit juices and nectars with added sugars), sports and energy drinks, sweetened coffees and teas, and other SSBs (including horchata and sugar cane beverages). SSB, sugar-sweetened beverage.

2

Test of significance for a linear trend (1999–2000 to 2009–2010) with the use of a t statistic.

3

Sum of energy intakes at home and away from home does not equal the totals presented in Tables 1 and 2 because of rounding; sum of energy intakes from meals and snacks does not equal the totals presented in Tables 1 and 2 because of rounding and small amounts of missing data for meal occasion.

4

Age-adjusted by the direct method to the year 2000 Census population using 20–39, 40–59, ≥60 y.

5

Sum of energy intakes from breakfast, lunch, and dinner do not equal the sum for meals because of rounding.
