FA, fatty acids
*
All statistical analyses accounted for the complex sampling design effect and appropriate sampling weights.
†
Linear trends in intakes of unsaturated fatty acids across the survey periods were compared using the generalized linear model after adjustment for sex, age, region and household income, where applicable.
