a
Geometric mean.
Average food eaten per day by weight and energy at baseline. Estimated from 4-day weighed food records. Normally distributed variables are presented as M (SD). Transformed variables with normal distribution are presented as Mdn [95% CI]. Variables not normally distributed, neither before nor after transformation, are presented as Mdn (Range).
