Pooled HRs (95% CIs) for type 2 diabetes associated with increasing consumption of a beverage and concomitantly decreasing consumption of sugary beverages or ASB by one serving (8 ounces) per day. Cox proportional hazards models including all beverages simultaneously (initial and change, both continuous, in servings/day), adjusted for race (white or nonwhite), family history of diabetes (yes/no), physical examination during the 4-year cycle (yes/no), menopausal status and postmenopausal hormone use (premenopausal, postmenopausal + current use, postmenopausal + past use, postmenopausal + never use, or missing indicator), oral contraceptive use (never, current, past, or missing indicator), smoking status (never to never, never to current, past to past, past to current, current to past, current to current, or missing indicator), initial and change in physical activity level (MET-h/week, quintiles), alcohol consumption (g/day, quintiles), and AHEI score (calculated without the alcohol and sugary beverage components, quintiles), initial calorie intake (quintiles), and initial BMI (<21.0, 21.0–24.9, 25.0–29.9, 30.0–31.9, >32.0 kg/m²). Results of the three cohorts were pooled using an inverse variance–weighted, fixed-effect meta-analysis. *P for heterogeneity <0.05. m.-f., milk-fat.
