  1. The difference in serum urate in the overall sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) category is the average difference from sugar-sweetened beverage category 1 to category 2 to category 3 (i.e. 0, to >0 to <2, to ≥2). All analysis adjusted by sample set (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Caucasian, Framingham Heart Study (FHS) Caucasian, New Zealand (NZ) Caucasian, East Polynesian, West Polynesian, Mixed East Polynesian/West Polynesian, ARIC African American), age, sex, fruit intake (continuous variable), kidney disease, hypertension, triglycerides, and relatedness
