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.
