Relative concentrations (or relative ratio) with 95 % CI of biomarkers according to sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake. ALT, alanine transaminase; GGT, γ-glutamyl transferase. Relative concentrations (or relative ratio) with 95 % CI of biomarkers predicted in highest SSB intake category (once per day or more) to the lowest category as reference (never or almost never). Models were adjusted for age at blood draw, fasting status (yes/no) and time of blood draw (blood collection cycle 1/2), smoking status (current/former/never), alcohol intake (continuous), physical activity (tertile), total energy intake (tertile), Alternate Healthy Eating Index score excluding sugar-sweetened beverages (tertile), postmenopausal hormone use (yes/no) and BMI (continuous).
