1 Data are shown as unadjusted means (SE) and are weighted to the Canadian population. Data source: Canadian Community Health Survey, Nutrition-2015. NE = niacin equivalents; DFE = dietary folate equivalents; RAE = retinol activity equivalents. * Percentage difference of contributions within age groups for contribution to daily nutrients at a 0.05 level of significance. The Hsu multiple comparisons with the best method was applied to identify the lowest (L) and the highest (H) % contributions of nutrient intake [18].
