Shading indicates the magnitude of estimated mean coverage probability (Green: maximum estimated coverage probability; yellow: median; red: minimum). Mean coverage probability is omitted for statistical (SD1) and AME-like (SD2) nutrient intake densities given the complexity of deriving standard errors for the corresponding ratio estimators. Abbreviations: Abbreviations: FCS-HH (2013 Food Consumption Survey), HSES-HH (2012/2014 Household Socio-Economic Survey), SD1 (unadjusted statistical disaggregation method), SD2 (AME-like statistical disaggregation method), AME (adult male equivalent method), IU (international unit; 40 IU = 1 μg). Statistics are survey weighted.
