CI confidence interval.

aThe possible range of response for self-efficacy for health living was 5 to 50 for the healthy eating subscale score, while for the individual items the possible range of response for was 1 to 10. For healthy eating behaviors, the range of response was 0 to 24 for the times eating vegetables subscale score, while for the individual items the possible range of response was 0 to 6 regarding the daily frequency of intake, except Item 9 regarding number of days per week eating breakfast which ranges from 0 to 7.
