Covariance analysis and multivariable logistic regression analysis showing the association between dilemma toward choice of meat, fish and dairy products and nutritional intake, adherence to food group guidelines and dietary quality (mPNNS-GS) (N = 22,935, Nutrinet-Santé study, 2013)1
| Intake (g/day) | Adherence to food group guidelines | Dietary quality (mPNNS-GS)2,3 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean ± SD | P 4,5 | OR (95% CI) | P 6,7 | Mean ± SD | P 4,8,9 | ||
| Meat | No dilemma | 72.6 ± 51.8 | <0.0001 | 16 | 0.0002 | 7.6 ± 1.6 | <0.0001 |
| Dilemma | 60.3 ± 46.5 | 0.83 (0.76–0.92) | 8.0 ± 1.6 | ||||

1All analyses are adjusted for, sex, age, education level, income, smoking status, physical activity, BMI and energy intake
2Analyses are performed on a subsample of individuals (N = 17,685) for whom mPNNS-GS score could be assessed
3mPNNS-GS has a range of 0–13.5 points, with a higher score indicating a better overall diet quality
4P values are based on ANCOVA analyses
5Explained variance (r2) in the models were 0.073 for meat, 0.033 for fish and 0.024 for dairy products
6P values are based on multivariable logistic regression analyses
7Explained variance (r2) in the models were 0.010 for meat, 0.055 for fish and 0.027 for dairy products
8Since there are no dietary guidelines available for meat, guidelines for meat/fish/eggs are considered in these analyses. Adherence to dietary guidelines for meat/fish/eggs corresponds to an intake of 1–2 servings/day
9Explained variance (r2) in the models were 0.14 for meat, 0.13 for fish and 0.13 for dairy products
10Adherence to dietary guidelines for fish corresponds to an intake of fish ≥2 servings/week
11Adherence to dietary guidelines for dairy products corresponds to an intake between 2.5–3.5 servings/day (individuals <55 years) and between 2.5–4.5 servings/day (individuals ≥55 years)
