SSB: Sugar-sweetened beverages.

1

Model also adjusted for age, education, total caloric intake (kcal/day) and fiber intake (grams/day).

2

True reporters defined as subset with self-reported total dietary intake within 25% of total energy expenditure as per doubly labeled water.

3

SSB intake categorized as no intake (n=107), and at the median intake level among consumers: 1–99 kcal/day (n=71) versus >99 kcal/day (n=72).
