PRT24h, PRTon, and PRTbdhq (protein intake estimated from biomarkers measured in 24-h urine samples, biomarkers measured in overnight urine, and BDHQ15y, respectively). Spearman’s correlation coefficients were adjusted for age, MVPA, body weight, body height, and sex, if necessary, and corrected for attenuation.
