The percentage of Canadian children and adolescents (2- to 18-years-old) and adults (19-years-old and above) across whole-grain consumption patterns.

	Children and Adolescents (%) (n = 6,395,152) *	Adults (%) (n = 27,061,760) *
The Lowest (WGCs: 0% to 20%)	63.8	59.2
Low (WGCs: 20% to 40%)	15.6	12.4
Balanced (WGCs: 40% to 60%)	8.5	8.8
High (WGCs: 60% to 80%)	5.1	5.4
The Highest (WGCs ≥ 80%)	3.4	7.3
‘Minimal grain’ Consumers (total grain intake < 1 serving/day)	3.6	6.2

WGCs—the share of whole grain intakes from the total daily grain intake. * n = population size.
