¹All values are means ± SEMs. Multivariable longitudinal linear regression random-effects models were adjusted for year, race, income, and household size (Homescan), and multivariable linear regression models were adjusted for year, age, sex, race, and income (NHANES). Estimates in the same row with different superscript letters are significantly different at the 5% level (Bonferroni-adjusted Student's t test). CS, calorie sweetened; Homescan, Nielsen Homescan Panel; LCS, low-calorie sweetened; RTE, ready to eat.
