a “All-foods models” refers to the linear programming models where all of the foods reported as consumed by the sample were taken as variables; b “no YCF, no Suppl” refers to children who did not consume either YCFs or supplements during the four days of dietary record; “no YCF, Suppl” refers to those who did not consume YCFs, but who consumed supplements; “YCF, no Suppl” refers to those who consumed YCFs, but not supplements; “YCF & Suppl” refers to those who consumed both YCFs and supplements; c others include savory sauces, pickles, gravies, condiments, powders for drinks and wine; 1 indicates a significant difference (p < 0.01) between food quantities from observed and modeled diets in the overall sample; 2 indicates significant difference (p < 0.01) between food quantities from observed and modeled diets in the “no YCF no Suppl” group of children; 3 indicates significant difference (p < 0.01) between food quantities from observed and modeled diets in the “no YCF Suppl” group of children; 4 indicates significant difference (p < 0.01) between food quantities from observed and modeled diets in the “YCF no Suppl” group of children; 5 indicates significant difference (p < 0.01) between food quantities from observed and modeled diets in the “YCF & Suppl” group of children; ** analysis adjusted for age and energy intake, using the general linear model for variation between modeled and observed quantities across groups.
