Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; SSB, sugar-sweetened beverage.

^aFrequency of SSB intake was calculated by adding 4 types of SSBs (ie, regular soda, fruit drink, sports/energy drink, and sweetened coffee/tea drink).

^bWeighted percentage may not add up to 100% because of rounding.

^cχ² tests were used for each variable to examine differences across categories.

^dWidowed, divorced, separated, or never married.

^eBased on BMI (kg/m²): underweight/normal weight, BMI <25; overweight, BMI 25 to <30; Obese, BMI ≥30.

^fBased on years living in the United States, language spoken at home, cultural self-identification, and use of Spanish language media.
