SE = Standard Error of Mean

Each column’s age category is assigned a letter accordingly:

= 19–30y,

= 31–50y,

= 51–70y,

= 71–75y.

Lower case superscript letters in each column indicate statistically significant age group comparisons of mean nutrient intakes after adjusting for total energy intake (p < 0.05), with the letters shown beneath the highest value of the comparisons.
