Prevalence of inadequate intakes for nutrients with an estimated average requirement of Canadian adults (aged ≥19 y) A) males and B) females. Data Source: Statistics Canada, Canadian Community Health Survey, Nutrition (2015) – Public Use Microdata File. All intakes are based on food and beverage consumption only and exclude intakes from vitamin or mineral supplements. The National Cancer Institute method (NCI method) for estimating usual dietary intake was used. The following covariates were adjusted for in all NCI models: age, sex, dietary misreporting status, day of the week (weekend versus weekday), and sequence of dietary recall analyzed (first or second). Outliers for nutrient intake were defined and removed using the methodology reported in Davis et al. (31). The number of respondents removed due to outlier methodology varied between 1 and 33 respondents for each nutrient. The analytical sample size before outlier removal was n = 11,992. All estimates were weighted for population-level estimates using sampling survey weights provided by Statistics Canada. All reported SEs were bootstrapped using the 500 boot weights provided by Statistics Canada. EAR, estimated average requirement.
