A subsample of 7080 subjects counted with hemoglobin data. Hemoglobin concentrations were adjusted for geographic altitude. All prevalence ratios were calculated per quartile of dietary pattern scores. * Model adjusted for sex, living area, socioeconomic status, region, age, and BMI-for-age Z-score (BAZ). ₰ Model adjusted for sex, living area, socioeconomic status, region, and BAZ. ¥ Model adjusted for living area, socioeconomic status, region, age, and BAZ.
