¹ Percentages within categories were estimated using logistic regression and adjusted for all other categories. Percentages within categories not sharing a common letter are significantly different, p < 0.05, by Bonferroni contrasts; ² Unweighted sample sizes. Includes only adults whose dietary recalls were deemed to be reliable; ³ Income was defined as the ratio of income to poverty; household income divided by federal poverty guidelines; ⁴ Categories do not add up to total due to missing data; ⁵ Categories do not add up to total because “other Hispanic” and “other race” were not included in the analyses.
