Total daily dietary intake of macronutrients and energy, and daily alcohol consumption and fiber intake in the study population stratified by the adherence to the Dutch physical activity (PA) guideline. Data are expressed as means ± SD. T-test was used for statistical testing to compare the active group vs. sedentary group.
