1Values are means ± SEs. Results are derived from the National Health and Nutrition Survey 2012 (24). Multivariate linear regression models were used to predict daily per capita intakes of healthy and less-healthy foods and beverages according to SES and adjusting for age (categorical), sex, and region of residence. Labeled means without a common superscript letter differ among categories of SES, P < 0.05, with the use of Bonferroni adjustment. ENSANUT, National Health and Nutrition Survey; SES, socioeconomic status.

2Tertiles are based on socioeconomic index scores computed as part of the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2012 (range of scores by SES: low, −6.0 to <−0.6; medium, −0.6 to <0.9; high, 0.9 to 4.7) (31).
