Fig. 4: Projected added sugar consumption under the SSP5-8.5 scenario.

From: Rising temperatures increase added sugar intake disproportionately in disadvantaged groups in the USA

Fig. 4

a, A time series of the projected consumption of added sugar. b, The projected added sugar consumption of counties in 2095. c, The projected added sugar consumption of heterogeneous groups in 2095 by education level in households with a male head (i), education level in households with a female head (ii), income (iii), ethnic group (iv), work environment in households with a male head (v) and work environment in households with female head (vi). Spring: March, April and May; summer: June, July and August; autumn: September, October and November; winter: December, January and February. The distribution in a shows the temperature distribution for 2019 and 2095 for all climate models, with an average temperature increase of approximately 5 °C. The annual line and shaded area in a and the dots and vertical lines in c show the annual mean and the lowest and highest predictions of the n = 25 models in 2095, respectively. Household income was categorized as defined in Fig. 2.
