Models also control for age, gender, education (high school/ged; some college; college grad; missing education), employment status, race/ethnicity, the ratio of household income to federal poverty threshold, household size, family structure (divorced/separated/widowed/never married, missing marital status), quarterly time trend, and state fixed effects. SSB stands for sugar- sweetened beverages. SoFAAS stands for solid fats, alcohol and added sugars. HEI-2005 stands for 2005 Healthy Eating Index. The percentage change is calculated as exp(β) – 1.
