Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios of incident ESLD and all-cause mortality by substituting free sugars. Forest plots show the multivariable HRs associated with substitution of non-free sugars, starch, and dietary fiber for equivalent amounts of free sugars. HRs were adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, Townsend deprivation index, education level, household income, self-reported smoking status, sedentary behavior, body mass index, baseline diabetes, baseline hypertension, serum alanine aminotransferase, triglycerides, cholesterol levels, total energy intake, and total carbohydrate intake
