bw: body weight; LB: lower bound; N: number of surveys; UB: upper bound.

^aSection 2.4 describes the age range within each age class.

^bEstimates were rounded to two decimal places.

^cThe 95th percentile estimates obtained on dietary surveys/age classes with less than 60 observations may not be statistically robust (EFSA, 2011a). Those estimates were not included in this table.
