The categories of grade, carbonated beverages consumption and fried foods consumption were divided into three groups. After the chi-square test results were significant, Bonferroni correction was used for multiple comparisons to examine the differences between different groups. The same subscript letters indicate no statistically significant difference between the groups, while different subscript letters indicate statistically significant differences.
