Probability of adequacy (PA) is the probability that a child’s nutrient intake is adequate on a single day. PA = 0 indicates the probability of being adequate of a particular nutrient is 0%; PA = 1 (shaded) indicates the probability of being adequate of a particular nutrient is 100%. Diet diversity score (DDS) refers to the number of food groups (out of 9) a child has consumed on a single day.
