1 Intakes values are medians (IQR). Nutrients expressed as energy-adjusted values by using the following equation: energy-adjusted intake (unit/day) = observed intake (unit/day) × Estimated Energy Requirement (EER, kcal/day) / observed energy intake (kcal/day). 2 Prevalence of not meeting DRIs is percentage of participants whose intake fell outside the range of dietary goals (DG) or below the estimated average requirement (EAR). Each energy-adjusted nutrient intake (unit/day) was compared with each DRI (dietary reference intake) value (unit/day), using the cut-point method. The probability of inadequacy of >50% for menstruating women whose bioavailability of iron is 15% (<9.3 mg/day) was considered not meeting EAR for women aged 20–49 years. 3 All nutrient intakes, except vitamin B12 in men, were significantly different across the dairy intake groups (p < 0.05; Kruskal–Wallis test). 4 Milk, milk consumers; Dairy, other dairy consumers; Non-dairy, non-dairy consumers; RE, retinol equivalent; NE, niacin equivalent. 5 Difference in the prevalence of not meeting DG and EAR was tested using Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel test adjusting for age categories.
