  1. a In each multivariate model, race, sex, body weight, body height, family income, physical activity (whenever available), soft drink availability, and total energy intake were adjusted
  2. Results were presented as beta (B) values along with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) and p-values
  3. * indicated significance (p < 0.05)
