bw: body weight; n: number of surveys.
The corresponding 95% confidence intervals are presented in the brackets. Estimates are rounded to one decimal place.
a
Section 5.1 describes the age range within each age class.
b
One the dietary surveys had less than 60 survey participants and therefore could not be included in calculation of the 95th percentile exposure.
