The effect of sugar intake from SSBs on risk of having NAFLD/NASH based on the multinominal logistical regression model. NAFLD was defined as simple steatosis without NASH. Model 1 was adjusted for age, gender, race, and PIR. Model 2 was adjusted for covariates in Model 1 and lifestyle pattern, including status of smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity, and medical condition; and daily dietary intake pattern, including total energy, total sugar, and total fat. Model 3 was adjusted for covariates in Model 2 and BMI status. No more than 36 g of added sugar for men and 25 g of added sugar for women was recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA) recommendation. For heavy SSB consumers, ≥72 and ≥50 g of sugar intake from SSBs for men and women were used in this study, respectively.
