Notes: Demonstrates the comparison of dietary related indicators among groups. From the comparative analysis of macro-nutrient level, the carbohydrate intake of obese group was higher than normal group 1 (P < 0.05); the total energy, carbohydrate, protein and fat intake of overweight group were higher than normal group 2 (P < 0.05); from the comparative analysis of food categories level, the intake level of cooking oil in obese group was higher than normal group 1 (P < 0.05) and the dairy, alcoholic beverage intake level of overweight group was lower than normal group 2 (P < 0.05). Compared with the normal group 2, the overweight group had significantly lower scores of HBS, and TS (P < 0.05).

Abbreviations: NG1, Normal Group 1; OG, Obese Group; NG2, Normal Group 2; OWG, Overweight Group; CHO, Carbohydrate.
