Nutrient intakes of Canadian adults (≥19 years), overall and by DRI age-sex groups, for baseline and under each counterfactual scenario. (A) Sodium intakes; (B) Total sugars intakes; (C) Saturated fats intakes; and (D) Total energy intakes. Baseline and counterfactual calorie and nutrient intakes were estimated using CCHS-Nutrition 2015 PUMF data (61, 63). Usual intakes were estimated using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) method (103), and analyses were adjusted for age, sex, dietary misreporting status, weekend/weekday, and sequence of dietary recall. d, day; g, grams; mg, milligrams; FIGURE 2 (Continued)kcal, kilocalories; SE, standard error. Counterfactual scenario 1 and 2 were based on Taillie et al. (44). SCENARIO 1, overall changes: sodium (mg) −4.7%; sugars (g) −10.2%; saturated fat (g) −3.9%; and SCENARIO 2, disaggregated by foods: sodium (mg) –4.6%; sugars (g) –5.4%; saturated fat (g) –3.6%; and beverages: sodium (mg) –5.2%; sugars (g) –13.2%; saturated fat (g) –5.6%. Counterfactual scenario 3 was based on Acton et al. (40). SCENARIO 3, relative changes disaggregated by snack foods: sodium (mg) –6.3%; sugars (g) –0.1%; saturated fat (g) –6.5%; and beverages: sodium (mg) –5.5%; sugars (g) –8.7%; saturated fat (g) –19.5%. Counterfactual scenario 4 was based on Song et al. (41). SCENARIO 4, overall changes: sodium (mg) –7.8%; sugars (g) –7.3%; saturated fat (g) –16.3%. * Indicates a statistically significant difference between baseline mean intakes and counterfactual mean intakes.
