Difference between 2013 and 2000, within income group
Note: Boldface indicates that the predicted mean nutrient density was different between the Hispanic, NH Black, or NH Other vs. NH White households, within retailer and year, p≤0.05. For rows indicating the difference between 2013 and 2000, boldface indicates that there were differential changes in the predicted mean nutrient density of PFPs purchased by race/ethnic groups over time.
PFP, packaged food purchases; FRC, food retail chains
