Note. Healthy weight = body mass index (BMI) 18.5–24.99; overweight = BMI 25–29.99; obese = BMI ≥ 30. All values are mean per capita consumption (in kcal) from sweet or salty snacks for those people who consumed each beverage. Multivariate regression was used to adjust for gender, race/ethnicity, education, body-weight category, marital status, income, employment status, weekend or weekday, and other beverages consumed.
Percentage of contribution to daily solid caloric intake.
