a
Total SSB includes regular sugar-sweetened carbonated beverages, fruit drinks, sports/energy drinks, and sweetened coffee/tea drinks.
b
The multivariable logistic regression model for each SSB included 25,299 adults and controlled for age, sex, race/ethnicity, marital status, education, and annual household income. The reference group was <1 time/day.
c
Significant findings based on the 95% CI (ie, the CI does not include 1).
