• Description:
  Objectives:
  
  Frequent sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake is associated with weight gain in women, and pre-pregnancy overweight and excessive gestational weight gain are linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes. SSB intake information for women of reproductive age (WRA) is limited. We described SSB intake among non-pregnant and pregnant WRA and identified correlates of daily intake.
  
  Methods:
  
  Using 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, we analyzed SSB intake (regular soda, fruit drinks, sweet tea, sports/energy drinks) for 11,321 non-pregnant and 392 pregnant WRA (18–49 years) in 12 states and D.C. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for daily (≥1 time/day) SSB intake (reference: <1 time/day) by characteristics were estimated using multivariable logistic regression.
  
  Results:
  
  Overall, 27.3% of non-pregnant and 21.9% of pregnant women reported consuming SSBs ≥1 time/day; 12.6% and 9.7%, respectively, consumed SSBs ≥2 times/day. Among non-pregnant women, odds of daily SSB intake were higher for women who were non-Hispanic black (aOR=2.04, 95% CI=1.55–2.69) vs. non-Hispanic white; had ≤high school education (aOR=2.79, CI=2.26–3.44) or some college (aOR=1.85, CI=1.50–2.27) vs. college graduates; lived in nonmetropolitan counties (aOR=1.35, CI=1.11–1.63) vs. metropolitan; had no physical activity (aOR=1.72, CI=1.43–2.07) vs. some; were former (aOR=1.51, CI=1.17–1.94) or current (aOR=3.48, CI=2.82–4.28) smokers vs. nonsmokers. Among pregnant women, those not married had higher odds (aOR=2.81, CI=1.05–7.51) for daily SSB intake than married women.
  
  Conclusions:
  
  SSB intake information for WRA can inform efforts to promote healthy weight and appropriate gestational weight gain, potentially reducing the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.
