SFA, saturated fatty acid; EER, estimated energy requirement.
All analyses accounted for the complex sampling design effect and appropriate sampling weights of the national survey using PROC SURVEY in SAS. Values are means (standard errors).
*Energy intake was evaluated as the percentage of age, sex-specific EER.
