aValues are mean ± SD unless otherwise indicated. Age category-matching was taken into account
bThe PA for each nutrient's z-score, estimated intake-EAR/SD, was determined by using the "probnorm" statistical function in SAS [57, 58]
cEER for energy and EAR for the rest of nutrients
dBased on Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test
eBased on McNemar's test
fValues are n (%)
