Comparison of dietary diversity score with frequent, moderate and infrequent consumption of street food and fast food

	Mean DDS	95% CI	Kruskal-Wallis p-value
Street foods
Never or Hardly ever (n = 2171)	4.13[A]	4.07 - 4.20	p < 0.0001**
Moderate+ (n = 730)	3.77[B]	3.66 - 3.89
Frequent++ (n = 373)	3.81[B]	3.66 - 3.96
Fast foods
Never or Hardly ever (n = 1999)	3.73[C]	3.66 - 3.80	< 0.0001**
Moderate+ (n = 1052)	4.41[B]	4.32 - 4.50
Frequent++ (n = 224)	4.69[A]	4.51 - 4.87
All (n = 3287)	4.02	3.96 - 4.07

+Moderate use = 2-3 times a month or about once a week; ++Frequent use = 2 or more times a week

**p < 0.0001 = significant difference in DDS between frequent and seldom consumers

[A], [B], [C] Different symbols indicate significant differences amongst groups, Bonferroni multiple comparison test, significant for p < 0.05.
