Abbreviation: SD, standard deviation. Liquid soy food (cups/day) = liquid soy food (cups/time) * intake of liquid soy food (times/week)/7. Solid soy food (servings/day) = solid soy food (servings/time) * intake of solid soy food (times/week)/7. * p < 0.05, t test compared the differences between boys and girls in soy food intake.
