Table 1.
Nutritional item scores of the total group.
| Nutritional Item (Mean ± SD) | Total SCD Group (N = 165) | General Dutch Population [30] |
|---|---|---|
| DHD-FFQ total score | 54.3 (12.2) | 57.6 (9.6) |
| Vegetables | 6.6 (2.9) | 6.7 (2.6) |
| Fruit | 7.8 (2.8) | 8.0 (2.7) |
| Fibers | 7.5 (1.9) | 7.8 (1.9) |
| Fish | 6.2 (3.4) | 5.5 (3.2) |
| Saturated fat * | 4.5 (4.1) | 5.5 (4.0) |
| Trans fatty acids * | 7.3 (4.6) | 9.2 (2.7) |
| Salt * | 5.9 (3.0) | 6.3 (2.8) |
| Alcohol * | 8.7 (2.7) | 8.6 (2.7) |
This table presents the nutritional item scores of the total group. Although the score on trans fatty acids could be 0 or 10 (yes/no adherence) the score was treated as a continuous variable. In order to put these numbers into context, the results of a study in the Dutch population were added in the right column. * A higher score indicates better adherence to the nutritional guideline, and therefore a lower quantitative intake in this category.
