¹Model 1 (mixed logistic regression model) was adjusted for age, pubertal stage, physical fitness, dietary misreporting, maternal education, and family income. Model 2 was adjusted as for model 1 and for healthy and Western dietary pattern scores. SSB intake was determined according to population tertiles as follows: tertile 1: 0–0.5 serving/d (0–130 g/d); tertile 2: >0.5–1.3 servings/d (130–329 g/d); and tertile 3: >1.3 servings/d (331–2876 g/d), with the assumption that one serving is equivalent to 1 cup (250 mL or 8.45 oz) or 261 g. ORs (95% CIs) were associated with movement into the SSB tertile between 14 and 17 y of age relative to staying in the lowest tertile. SSB, sugar-sweetened beverage.

³Composite measure of metabolic risk on the basis of a 2-step cluster analysis of BMI, systolic blood pressure, serum triglycerides, and HOMA-IR, which classified individuals into low– and high–metabolic risk clusters (19, 20).
