Geo. mean = geometric mean, CV coefficient of variation

*p < 0.0001 for all displayed correlations

aCorrelation for nutrient densities (nutrient intake per 1000 kcal), a constant was added to each individual intake value when the calculation of geometric mean was not possible due to intake value of zero and subtracted from the result for absolute numbers (alcohol, vitamin D, vitamin B12)
