^*Included nondiet soda, fruit drinks, sports and energy drinks, and sweetened coffee/tea drinks. OR indicates odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; and Ref., reference group.

^†Due to possible collinear relationship, the logistic regression modeling was performed for each proxy of acculturation separately. The reference group was sugar-sweetened beverage intake 0 times/d.

^‡Each model was controlled for age, sex, marital status, education level, annual family income, region of residence, and weight status.

^§Unweighted sample size is presented.
