Values are means ± SDs with the IQRs for the 99 Hispanic women included in this study. Dietary intake was determined from 24-h dietary recalls performed at 1 and 6 mo postpartum. Each dietary factor was derived from the mean of the 1- and 6-mo recalls. Dietary factors are shown as kilocalories, grams, 8-oz (equivalent to 236.6 mL) servings, or milliliters per day.
