^*Geometric means and 95 % CI for LG10 transformed and back-transformed food consumption variables, which were analysed with ANCOVA (Bonferroni corrections), adjusted for daily energy intake.

^†The lowest red and processed meat consumption quintile in the year 2017: cut-off point 54 g/d, excluding vegetarians.

^‡The highest red and processed meat consumption quintile in the year 2017: cut-off point 160 g/d.

^§Statistically significant difference at level P < 0·05 with the low-RPM group.

^||Statistically significant difference at level P < 0·05 with the high-RPM group.

^¶Statistically significant difference at level P < 0·05 with vegetarians.

^**Sex interaction.

^††Rye is the most important determinant of whole-grain intake in Finland.
