| Variables | B | SE | 95% Wald Confidence Interval (Lower, Upper) | P-value* | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DDS | Non-athletes | Reference | . | . | . |
| Football players | 1.30 | 0.32 | (0.67, 1.93) | < 0.001 | |
| FQS | Non-athletes | Reference | . | . | . |

DDS, dietary diversity score; FQS, food quality score
*P-value is based on GEE model with identity link function and exchangeable correlation structure (study groups were matched for age and BMI)
Bold p-value (< 0.05) is considered as statistically significant
