SD Standard deviation- This table reports values as reported in source documents or as re-treated from individual raw data, except for those with asterisks, which should be taken as indicative only. Contribution to daily energy intake considers energy from alcohol, except for Belgium data

*these values have been calculated from mean values of energy and sugar intakes, as reported in source documents

**these values combining both gender have been calculated from the values and sample size for each gender
