Abbreviation: SSB, sugar-sweetened beverage.
n = 1000.
Determined by the question, “Which of the following conditions do you think are related to drinking sugary drinks, such as regular sodas, fruit drinks (eg, Kool-Aid, lemonade), sports or energy drinks (eg, Gatorade, Red Bull), and sweetened teas?”
SSB intake was calculated by adding 4 types of SSBs (ie, regular soda, fruit drink, sports/energy drink, and sweetened coffee/tea drink).
Weighted percentage may not add up to 100% because of rounding.
χ2 tests were used for each variable to examine differences across categories.
