^a Attenuation and correlation factors were estimated using a measurement error model that included age and body mass index.

^b Self-reported intakes were collected using online (vs. paper-based) instruments.

^c Refers to attenuation factors that would pertain if repeat self-report administrations were adjusted for random error using regression calibration.

^d The FR was weighed in WLVS and MLVS and unweighed in IDATA.
