Estimates are obtained from linear regression models that estimate the mean number of times each food group was consumed daily, by ordered levels of SSB consumption. All models are adjusted for grade, race/ethnicity, language spoken at home, and socioeconomic status, and are stratified by sex. Models take into account the complex sampling design of the study and survey weights. p for linear trend is obtained from regression models that use a continuous specification of the beverage variable. Arrows are used to indicate the direction of significant (p<=.05) trends.
