Mean usual intake ± standard error (SE). Intake of milk was assessed using the sum of Food Patterns Equivalents Database (FPED) variable “D_Milk” as cup equivalents/day from associated What We Eat In America (WWEIA) categories: Whole Milk—1002 (Milk, Whole), 1202 (Flavored milk, whole); Reduced-fat Milk—1004 (Milk, reduced-fat), 1204 (Flavored milk, reduced-fat); Low-fat Milk—1006 (Milk, low-fat), 1206 (Flavored milk, low-fat); Non-fat Milk—1008 (Milk, nonfat), 1208 (Flavored milk, non-fat); All Milk—sum of whole, reduced-fat, low-fat and non-fat milks. N = 4061 aged 2–8 years; 8700 aged 9–18 years; 17,457 aged 19–70 years; 3454 aged 71–99 years.
