AFC: Average Frequency of Consumption; RAFC: Ratio to Average Frequency of Consumption

^aAFC: Sample average frequency of consumption

^bRAFC: The ratio of the mean food intake among the children belonging to each latent pattern and the AFC

^c P-trend calculated by weighted regression on year-specific RAFC point estimates

*When 95% confidence interval does not include the value of one, it is statistically significant.
