NCI FV cups, National Cancer Institute’s All-Day Fruit and Vegetable Screener cup equivalents; BMI, body mass index; EER, estimated energy requirement; kcal, kilocalories; 24H FV cups, mean 24 h recall fruit and vegetable cup equivalents. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. Each model was run using multiple linear regression and controlled for each covariate with an estimate presented.
