Associations between fructose consumption and metabolic features after adjusting for age, gender, and BMI in entire study population (n = 427)

	Fructose consumption (reported servings per week)
	0 servings	> 0 and < 7 servings		≥ 7 servings
		β ± SE	p-value	β ± SE	p-value
Triglycerides, mg/dl	-	−37.0 ± 18.8	0.05	−1.4 ± 22.0	0.95
HDL-cholesterol, mg/dl	-	−2.7 ± 1.5	0.07	−5.5 ± 1.8	0.002
LDL-cholesterol, mg/dl	-	−0.2 ± 4.6	0.97	4.6 ± 5.5	0.40
Serum uric acid, mg/dl	-	0.1 ± 0.2	0.60	0.5 ± 0.2	0.03
Fasting serum glucose, g/dl	-	−12.2 + 3.9	0.002	−6.7 + 4.6	0.15
Fasting serum insulin, μU/ml	-	−2.5 + 3.9	0.52	−1.2 + 4.6	0.79
HOMA-IR	-	−1.5 ± 1.0	0.13	−0.8 ± 1.2	0.51

Multiple lineal regression models were used to compute adjusted mean differences (vs. 0 servings). Adjusted means are presented as β-coefficient ± SE (p-value) in the table.
