Values are linear regression coefficients (95 % confidence interval) and reflect the difference in outcome (SD scores) for medium and high sugar-containing beverage intake, as compared to the lowest category of intake
Trend tests were performed using tertiles of sugar-containing beverage intake as continuous variable in the model
Model A is adjusted for age at measurements and total energy intake (and child sex in the analysis of the total population)
Model B is additionally adjusted for maternal age, BMI, education level, smoking during pregnancy, folic acid supplement use during pregnancy, breastfeeding of the child, diet quality score, and hours of TV watching at age 2)
