Abbreviation: FFQ, Food Frequency Questionnaire.

a

Adjusted by age group, sex, urban/rural area, region, socioeconomic status, education level of adults aged 20 years or older and education level of the head of the household for participants aged less than 20 years, log-transformed state-level gross domestic product, and state-level unemployment rate.

b

Subdivision by taxed/untaxed categories means that the nutritional content in total beverages or foods is divided by the parts consumed in taxed/untaxed items (eg, not the nutritional content in each taxed/untaxed item).
