NHANES, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

*

Changes in daily total energy intake were estimated using Scheffé linear mixture models, accounting for NHANES 1999–2010 multiyear complex survey design.

P ↑ F ↓ denotes a 1 % increase in the percentage of energy from protein substituted for a 1 % decrease in the percentage of energy from fat.

P ↓ F ↑ denotes a 1 % decrease in the percentage of energy from protein substituted for a 1 % increase in the percentage of energy from fat.

§

P ↑ C ↓ denotes a 1 % increase in the percentage of energy from protein substituted for a 1 % decrease in the percentage of energy from carbohsydrate.
