Note. Only baseline sipping contained four categories; years 1 and 2 contained 3. So, the final category for sipping at years 1 and 2 is 2+ sips. Pearson’s correlations among sipping variables across waves are depicted below the diagonal and odds ratios are above the diagonal. Sipping was assessed in terms of lifetime consumption at baseline and in terms of consumption since the last assessment at years 1 and 2.
