Regression coefficients for dietary sugar intake and sodium intake quintiles in those with and without diabetes after excluding all with a history of cardiovascular disease

Sodium Group	Diabetes/No CVD (N = 5177)	No Diabetes/No CVD (N = 30 554)
Quintile 1 (0.06‐2.6 g/d)	39.3 (31.6 to 46.9)	31.4 (28.5 to 34.2)
Quintile 2 (2.6‐3.0 g/d)	13.5 (8.7 to 18.3)	9.6 (7.4 to 11.8)
Quintile 3 (3.0‐3.4 g/d)	(Ref)	(Ref)
Quintile 4 (3.4‐4.0 g/d)	−11.8 (−16.1 to −7.5)	−10.3 (−12.4 to −8.2)
Quintile 5 (4.0‐29.3 g/d)	−22.4 (−27.2 to −17.6)	−−23.2 (−25.1 to −21.2)

All P values are <.001 for comparison of each sodium quintile to sodium quintile 3 (Reference Group).

Numbers represent the regression coefficient with the 95% confidence interval in parentheses.
