Models were run using logistic regression. All data are presented as adjusted mean proportions.

1

Total caffeine and caffeinated beverages were adjusted for intake age, BMI, smoking status, and country of origin. Specific beverages were further adjusted for coffee, caffeinated tea, herbal tea, sugared soda, and energy drink intake.

2

P-trend was calculated by using the median value in each category as a continuous variable in the multivariable model.

*

Indicates p-value is <0.05 for that specific category compared to lowest category or non-drinkers.
