Extended Data Fig. 1: Global disease burden attributable to intake of sugar-sweetened beverages among adults (20+ years) in 2020.

Bars represent the estimated proportional SSB-attributable burden in the top panel (a) and the estimated SSB-attributable absolute cases per 1 million adults in the bottom panel (b) of T2D and CVD incidence, deaths, and DALYs. Data are presented as central estimate (median) and the corresponding 95% UI, derived from the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of 1,000 multiway probabilistic Monte Carlo model simulations. The SSB-attributable absolute burden per 1 million adults was calculated by dividing the absolute number of SSB-attributable cases by the total adult population (20+ years) in that year and multiplying it by 1 million. Source data are provided in Source Data file 6. CVD, cardiovascular disease; SSBs, sugar sweetened beverages; T2D, type 2 diabetes; UIs, uncertainty intervals.
