Overall nutrient adequacy is defined as the energy-adjusted number of nutrients (out of 8) consumed in adequate amounts. Tests for significance of differences (P-diff) between correlations follow the method of Eid, Gollwitzer, and Schmidt for independent samples (52). Abbreviations: GDQS, Global Diet Quality Score.
