Table 1 defines report rate for energy, (total) reported energy, (total) observed energy, correspondence rate for energy, and inflation ratio for energy. Energy values are for kilocalories. Table 2, footnote b, explains SDS. Table 2, footnote c, explains BMI%. Endpoints for group intervals for SDS and BMI% were defined using quartiles from the observed children.
