TABLE 4.

Estimates of population inadequacy/adequacy (% below EAR or above AI) of nutrients in NHANES 2011–2016 diet before and after addition of 84 g of commonly consumed mushrooms (White + Crimini + Portabella mushrooms at 1:1:1) in adolescents age 9–18 years (n = 4,810) and adults age 19+ years (n = 14,990)

Data presented as Means (95% Confidence Interval). Nutrient data on mushrooms from Table 1 were used. One serving (84 g) of mushrooms was added to all diets of those 9–18 years and 19+ years. Population adequacy/inadequacy were estimated using the cut‐point method (except for iron where the probability method was used) before and after addition of mushrooms. Nonoverlapping 95% confidence intervals were used to assess difference between without and with addition of mushrooms.
