Sports drink consumption was based on the following question: “During the past 7 days, how many times did you drink a glass or bottle of sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade?” CI indicates confidence interval; and BMI, body mass index.
Reference category included adults who did not drink sports drink during the past 7 days. The multivariable logistic regression model included all characteristics in one model.
Significant findings based on the 95% CI (ie, the CI does not include 1).
Not married includes widowed, divorced, separated, or never married.
Includes those with missing or potentially implausible BMI values.
