Adequate intakes (AI) [7], Spanish Reference Cohort (SRS) and Adapted Milk Consumers Cohort (AMS). Values are presented as median (interquartile range) and percentage per group Values that do not share superscript are significantly different between age—groups for each gender and in each cohort type (p ≤ 0.05; Kruskal-Wallis test and the Dunn test to adjust for multiple comparison and adjust the p-value with Bonferroni correction).
