1
n = 10,697 adults aged ≥19 y. Data are from NHANES 2009–2012. Cluster analysis was performed among pasta consumers (nonconsumers were defined as cluster 0); clusters were developed with standardized z scores of food group intakes. cup eq, cup equivalents; oz eq, ounce equivalents; Pop. pct., population percentage (sample weighted population percentage of adults in each cluster).
2
≥40% lower than cluster 0 group (nonconsumers).
3
≥40% higher than cluster 0 group (nonconsumers).
