The partial correlations are adjusted for age, sex, energy intake and BMI (not adjusted for sex in sex-specific analyses). The urinary sugar variables are log10-transformed.

U-sucrose, urinary sucrose; U-fructose, urinary fructose; U-sugars, sum of urinary sucrose and fructose; SSB, Sugar-sweetened beverages; BMI, body mass index.
