Age-stratified decrease in cardiovascular disease events and deaths predicted for a 10% reduction in sugar-sweetened beverage consumption with 39% caloric compensation, compared to a base case simulation assuming no change in consumption.
<p>(A) Total events and deaths prevented over 10 y under the intervention scenario. (B) The fraction of the total events predicted under the base case scenario that are prevented under the intervention scenario. The total counts of events and deaths for each age decile under the base case scenario and the change in events under the 10% and 20% SSB reduction scenarios are presented in <a href="http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pmed.1002158#pmed.1002158.s005" target="_blank">S4 Table</a>. CHD, coronary heart disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease.</p
