* We designated the eating location as home if food was consumed at home, school if food was consumed at school, and other if food was consumed at another person’s home, at a food court, at a cinema, at a restaurant, in the street, on transportation, or at another location. ** For saturated fats and total sugars, we calculated the percentage of calories that each of these nutrients contributed to the total daily calories consumed at each eating location. For sodium we estimated the intake of sodium (mg) per 100 calories. † We assessed the differences using the Wilcoxon signed rank test comparing home with school in children (n = 612) and adolescents (n = 479). ‡ We assessed the differences using the Wilcoxon signed rank test comparing home with other in children (n = 287) and adolescents (n = 185). § Med, Median. | IQR, interquartile ranges.
